The Leafs begin a very short road trip with a return engagement with the Flyers and a game in Carolina. They are back home next Saturday, and none of these are back-to-backs. Surely that's a mistake of some kind.

In case you missed it:

Jake McCabe is on IR, and he had to be to make roster room for the recall of Marshall Rifai. There are six healthy defenders without Rifai, but teams rarely do road trips without an extra. We'll find out later who is playing.
