The Leafs are facing the Red Wings back in Toronto for their final preseason game, with a roster that’s as close to their final form as we’re getting before opening night. There’s a couple of players that won’t be on the ice tonight that we’ll be seeing back on October 2nd (Marincin, Sandin), and a couple that are being given a final chance to show the team what they’ve got to offer (Holl, Korshkov), but otherwise this is pretty much it.
This preseason has shown that the Leafs have some decent call-up options headed into the regular season, and with Sandin unexpectedly making his case to make the jump to the NHL out of camp, a better looking defensive third pairing for opening night than was previously predicted.
