Kyle Dubas has your analysis on the defence woes:
Sheldon Keefe had Martin Marincin on the third pair on Wednesday’s practice, but he said not to read into that because they woke Calle Rosen up on Tuesday night to get him on a plane to Florida. Rosen was intending to play in Wednesday’s 11:00 a.m. game for the Marlies. He may draw in tonight.
The Leafs currently have no extra forwards on their roster and no recalls to add one from the Marlies unless they drop below 12 healthy forwards and can call it an emergency recall.
