Holl played 9:07 TOI in his season debut in Columbus on Friday before sitting out Saturday’s game vs. the Canadiens. He continues to rotate with Martin Marincin, so he will skate with Rasmus Sandin on Monday night.
Holl skated just 9:07 TOI in his season debut on Saturday. Head coach Mike Babcock wanted to get Holl into the lineup, but Martin Marincin will replace him vs. Montreal on Saturday.
Holl has been a healthy scratch for all 12 of the Maple Leafs games so far this season, but will play in his third career NHL game tonight. The 26-year-old defenseman had 28 points (7G / 21A) with the Marlies last season and scored a goal in both games he played with the Maple Leafs. Don’t expect him to score in every game, but Holl does have some offensive upside and could be worth a punt in DFS if you are desperate to save some salary.
Holl was a second round pick in 2010 and made it to the NHL briefly last season. The 26-year-old scored two goals in his only two games with the Maple Leafs, but spent most of the year with the Marlies (AHL), where he had seven goals and 21 assists (28 points) in 60 games. Holl is projected to be the Maple Leafs’ seventh defenseman this season.
