Earlier today the team also announced that defender Conor Timmins would be out of the lineup after contracting mono. Tonight's game will certainly test the team's depth as they face a St. Louis team fighting for their playoff lives.
If the Maple Leafs want to make the playoffs they will need to find a way to overcome this adversity, but given their recent history, it's hard to imagine that betting on them is a good decision.
