Due to salary cap constraints, the Leafs can only rest one regular tonight. They chose Mitch Marner. He s had a big workload here all the way through, noted coach Sheldon Keefe.
Marner leads all NHL forwards in average ice time this season clocking in at 22 minutes and 26 seconds per game. He logged 21 minutes and 53 seconds on Wednesday.
Winnipeg native Adam Brooks will draw in.
What are the priorities tonight? Play well, have good habits, do what we can to win the game and, probably most importantly, get out of it healthy, Keefe acknowledged.
After locking up first place in the North Division over the weekend, the Leafs struggled to maintain focus during an overtime loss in Ottawa.

th anniversary of O Ree becoming the league s first Black player, he was invited to Boston for a number of celebrations that included the dedication of a street hockey rink bearing his name and a pregame ceremony at TD Garden.
