If you have nothing better to do tonight, the Leafs have a preseason game for you. A preview will be up later today for that.

In Leafs news:

[‘Bumps and bruises’: Johnston details reasons Matthews has been missing practices - Video - TSNTSN’s Mark Masters and Chris Johnston discuss if there is any reason to be concerned about Auston Matthews missing multiple practices this week, how it seems to just be for maintenance reasons and if Wednesday’s practice showed how the Leafs plan on dealing with a possible Matthews injury during the season.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/34/01/3401a938-f468-4c02-a227-9bc4cc09bad4/content/images/icon/apple-touch-icon-180x180-1.png)TSN![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/34/01/3401a938-f468-4c02-a227-9bc4cc09bad4/content/images/thumbnail/2024_9_25_96b07b4b-2c05-4c1c-b395-df65ece310b1_jpg_1920x1080.jpg)](https://www.tsn.ca/video/~3000024?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)

Not a serious issue, but there is discussion that the lines from yesterday (see above post) imply that if Matthews is out in the regular season, Max Domi will take over at centre. 

The Habs are the guests tonight, and while it's likely they will send a very Rocketesque squad, a little intel on their training camp isn't a bad thing;

This is their first road game of preseason, so it's hard to tell who is likely to be there – more later when we have lines.
