The Toronto Maple Leafs get a tough test against one of the NHL’s best teams. It’s a game rife with story-lines as it’s a match-up between two top teams from the Eastern Conference, two of the best centers in the league and between two élite goaltenders.
According to the pairings during the Toronto Maple Leafs morning skate, Roman Polak will play tonight against Tampa. Connor Carrick will be the healthy scratch. [Editorial Note: Boooo!] No other changes seem to be made from last Saturday’s game.
