Important Leafs Defenseman Will Miss Tonight's Game
At this time of year, teams are preparing for the playoffs, and some players are scratched from the lineup for safety and rest reasons.
In the last few games, many players in the Maple Leafs roster enjoyed a night off. Tonight will be no exception, as Luke Schenn will likely be a healthy scratch.
Schenn Will Be a Healthy Scratch Tonight
This morning, the defenseman was on the ice. However, there was no morning skate for the team today, which suggests that he won't play tonight.
It wouldn't be surprising to see other players get scratched from the lineup in the last games of the regular season.
They wouldn't want to be in the same situation as the Lightning, who lost an important player from their roster to an injury only days before the playoffs.
An official statement from the team is expected before the start of tonight's game against the Florida Panthers, who will try to clinch their playoff spot.
