Anthony Angello wasn't even supposed to be in the lineup on Tuesday.
Angello was set to be a healthy scratch against the Maple Leafs. Just before warmups, though, Mike Sullivan was told that Evgeni Malkin was ill and questionable for the game.
"I still had the same routine," Angello said. "I was doing warmups originally, and then they said, 'Hey, be ready to go, Geno isn't feeling well.' I went out for warmups prepared like I was going to play, whether I was or not."
Midway through warmups, it was decided that Malkin would be unable to play in the game, and Angello was in.
