At least one sports memoribilia auction in Toronto is already displaying Phil Kessel’s signed No. 81 sweater in Pittsburgh colours.
But down at the Air Canada Centre, the decision on whose name goes on the lineup card in Kessel’s old spot with the Maple Leafs is still unsolved. Devin Setoguchi, one of the three wingers on a professional tryout contract at this camp, had his best chance on Saturday night with centre Tyler Bozak and left winger James van Riemsdyk.
One game up top was tough for head coach Mike Babcock and management to judge him on, but he could have benefitted from a chance in front after van Riemsdyk drove the net to knock Habs’ goalie Mike Condon off balance.
