#CSP #NHL #LEAFSNATION
Earlier this week, Sheldon Keefe was asked about what might have sparked his group during a successful road trip through California. He stated that the loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets in late December “got the team’s attention.” After back-to-back losses where the Leafs have relinquished multi-goal leads, Keefe will be looking for a similar response of tightening up the details from his group as they host the Red Wings tonight.
Ilya Samsonov, who cleared waivers earlier this month, will get the start in goal. The organization decided on individual practice time and a mental reset over any starts with the Toronto Marlies (who, notably, have been struggling with seven losses in their last eight); meaning, this is his first start since conceding six in Columbus on December 29 and certainly as (personally) pivotal as they come as far as mid-season regular season starts go.
Sheldon Keefe hinted that there could be a few lineup changes tonight. He confirmed that Mark Giordano, coming off a rough couple of games vs. NYI and COL, will be scratched, with Conor Timmins drawing in. The head coach also mentioned this morning that there were a few injuries last night, and some players are considered game-time decisions. Keefe did not dismiss a potential switch up the Tavares line, which he assessed “did not have one good shift” against the Avalanche.
Puck drop has been pushed back to 7:30 p.m., as the Red Wings are dealing with a storm that has affected their travel plans. Both teams are in a back-to-back situation, with Detroit defeating the Los Angeles Kings 5-3 last night. The former Leaf, James Reimer, is expected to start in goal for the Red Wings (3-6-2, .889 save percentage).
