Everyone covering the Leafs practice today says Roman Polak is in on the third pair with Travis Dermott, and one of Andreas Borgman or Connor Carrick is out.
Polak back in tonight, Babcock won't say who sits though Carrick and Borgman were last D-men off the ice in morning skate.

Okay so, problem number one is that Polak went on IR on January 31, at least according to CapFriendly, so unless they’ve backdated his illness somehow, that’s not seven days ago, and he shouldn’t be eligible to come off until Wednesday.
