Tonight is a very preseason game in a “neutral” site (the home of the Ottawa AHL team) and with a very preseason Toronto lineup for what is nominally a road game.
Before we get into the rosters and lines, some news:
Injury updates from Leafs coach Sheldon Keefe:
Carl Dahlstrom (shoulder) will need surgery; out six months
Jordie Benn (groin) out at least three weeks— Mark Masters (@markhmasters) September 30, 2022Even with Rasmus Sandin re-signed, that means the only genuine number seven defender is Victor Mete.
