Goalie Start
James Reimer starts in goal.

Clarke MacArthur back on the ice this morning in Montreal. Missed Thursday's game in Boston with an undisclosed injury.
Following a scary elbow infection, MacArthur likely just needed some time off. Expect him to suit up next to his usual partners in crime Mikhail Grabovski and Nikolai Kulemin.
Frattin-grabo-kulemin
MacArthur was hurt during last night's game, which could be a setback from his previous elbow injury. Last season he scored 21 goals and 62 points over 82 games while playing on the Grabovski line. Should this injury keep him out, matching that production would look like even more of a long shot.
MacArthur got "banged up" in third but is going on road trip. Wilson said they'll sport different lineup tomorrow.
Sounds like MacArthur is at least questionable for Thursday's game. Stay tuned for a further update.
Goalie Start
James reimer to start tonight.

Goalie Start
Reimer starts for #Leafs.
Reimer takes on the Flames for the first time in his career.
TORONTO – His elbow had ballooned to the point that a baseball may as well have been attached to it.
MacArthur could have gone under the knife which would have sidelined him for a number of weeks. Instead, the team's doctors caught the infliction on time which means he will be back in the lineup tomorrow.
Line Change
Eller-Plekanec-Cole
Eller moves up to the top line and could pot a few goals playing alongside an excellent playmaker. Last year, the former 13th overall pick scored seven goals and 17 points over his first 77 games as a Hab. Look for him to improve on those totals.
Cody franson and clarke macarthur are both expected to play saturday.
MacArthur has been battling an elbow injury but should get back into the lineup. Last season he scored 21 goals and 62 points over 82 games while playing on the Grabovski line. Expect similar production despite his two games missed.
Line Change
Eller-Engqvist-Palushaj
Eller will return to the lineup and start on the fourth line. Last year, the former 13th overall pick scored seven goals and 17 points over his first 77 games as a Hab. Expected to get the first crack at the top line, Eller continues to get some tough love and will need to re-earn his playing time.
Clarke macarthur is back at practise and takes usual spot on the grabovski line.
MacArthur is eligible to return to the lineup on Saturday, October 15th. Last season he scored 21 goals and 62 points over 82 games while playing on the Grabovski line. Expect similar production despite his two games missed.
Line Change
Lars Eller, who has recovered from off-season shoulder surgery, will return Thursday, and general manager Pierre Gauthier will have to summon a player from Hamilton or go hunting elsewhere.
Eller will return and play his first game of the season. Last year, the former 13th overall pick scored seven goals and 17 points over his first 77 games as a Hab. He should get the first crack at replacing Cammalleri on the top line.
Goalie Start
James Reimer is letting you know that he will be starting in goal tonight
Over three career starts against the Sens, Reimer holds a 2-0-1 record with a shutout, a 0.98 GAA and .963 SV%.
Goalie Start
James Reimer will start in goal
Reimer went 1-1-0 with a 4.00 GAA and .884 SV% over his two career starts against the Habs. His one win came at the Molson Centre despite allowing four goals on 35 shots.
Line Change
Behind his out-of-nowhere emergence as the Maple Leafs’ No. 1 goalie were years of mind-busting customized Matrix-like workouts for goaltending reflexes — the result of a chance meeting, really — at a fitness centre in Maple Ridge, B.C.
Reimer's work ethic should alleviate some concerns over his long-term value. Last season the 23-year-old won 20 of his 37 games played while finishing the season with a .921 SV%. Expect a slight drop off in his play but possibly not as bad as expected.
Toronto Maple Leafs forward Clarke MacArthur was suspended for the remainder of the preseason and the first two regular season games for his hit on Detroit Red Wings forward Justin Abdelkader in Friday's preseason game.
Fresh off a career year where MacArthur scored 21 goals and 62 points, the scoring winger will start the season ineligible to play. No word on who replaces him on the second line as the Leafs are decimated by injuries.
Eller still on the shelf: Centre Lars Eller, who is recovering from off-season shoulder surgery, expressed optimism this week that he would be cleared for contact Friday, but coach Jacques Martin said it isn’t going to happen. While there’s still an outside chance Eller will be ready for the season opener Thursday in Toronto, he would do so without the benefit of any preseason games.
Eller scored seven goals and 17 points in his rookie season for the Habs. In his second season with the organization he is expected to move up to a full-time role on the third line. Expect him to make the jump, if healthy, to the 30 point range.
