TSN Toronto Reporter Mark Masters reports on the Maple Leafs, who practised at Ford Performance Centre on Tuesday before flying to Montreal for Wednesday’s game against the Canadiens.
Rasmus Sandin is getting an opportunity to prove he deserves a spot in the Leafs playoff lineup. We got to give him more runway here, said head coach Sheldon Keefe. We expect he ll play most, if not all, the [eight] games remaining in the regular season.
The 21-year-old defenceman didn t play for the Leafs in the playoff bubble last summer and then only saw action in one NHL game – logging just five minutes – before being sent to the American Hockey League this season. He sustained a foot fracture in his first game with the Marlies on Feb. 15 and didn t return to game action until last week.
