TRAVIS DERMOTT Rating: 73.7#15 LD	ROMAN POLAK Rating: 70.0#43 RD

• The most significant change sees the probable return of Travis Dermott, who missed the last two games with an injured foot.
• Connor Carrick slots out of the lineup, to make room for Dermott, of course.
• Andreas Johnsson is not in the lineup. Take that as you will
• This is a pretty good indication of how the Leafs will look come Game 1 next week.

• David Schlemko on your top pairing?
• What is a Brett Lernout?
• Brendan Gallagher leads the way with
• Montreal is 30th in the league in goals scored. They’re 25th in goals against. Not an ideal way to run a hockey franchise.
• Hey, Kerby Rychel! Good for the former Leafs’ prospect, who was traded earlier this year in the Tomas Plekanec trade.

Starting goalies

It’ll be Carey Price up against Frederik Andersen in this one. Price is rocking an ugly .901 save percentage this year, whereas Andersen is putting up a .917. Andersen looks to stand alone in the Leafs’ record books with his 38th victory of the season with a win tonight.
