Good Monday morning to you. The Leafs have four games on tap this week starting tonight, all of them here in Toronto. It's going to be a busy week.

Monday @ 7:00 p.m. vs. the Tampa Bay Lightning
Wednesday @ 7:00 p.m. vs. the Ottawa Senators
Friday @ 7:00 p.m. vs. the Calgary Flames
Saturday @ 7:00 p.m. vs. the Buffalo Sabres

These games will be played without Timothy Liljegren who is now on LTIR. Simon Benoit and Max Lajoie have been recalled up to the Leafs to play, one of them tonight. We'll have our preview of tonight's game out late this morning.

In prospect news, Easton Cowan remains on fire.
