- David Clarkson returns to the lineup tonight as the Leafs head to Florida to take on the Panthers. He will take a spot on the third line with McClement and Mason Raymond.
- JVR flew to Florida today and will be in the lineup. He was questionable with the flu, and was unable to fly with the team yesterday.
- It appears Troy Bodie will sit in favor of Fraser McLaren tonight. The Leafs need all the fighters they can, as the Panthers are known as a fight club..... apparently.
- Jon Bernier and Tim Thomas start in goal tonight for the respective teams.
- Finally, Jared Smithson makes his long awaited return tonight for the Leafs, this is something fans have been calling for all season
- With these kind of coaching decisions, it's no surprise the Leafs are 9-1-1 in their last 11 games.
- The Panthers are 0-3 in their last 3 games, and 4-6-0 in their last 10.
