It’s all fun and games until someone breaks the goalie. Again. After laying down the Maple Leafs’ first shutout of the season, Jack Campbell looks to be out of action again with a mystery injury. Likely from this:

Frig man, indeed.
It’s not official yet, but:

Full list of participants at #Leafs optional skate in no particular order:
— David Alter (@dalter) March 1, 2021
Spezza, Petan, Barabanov, Kerfoot, Agostino, Engvall, Lehtonen, Liljegren, Matthews, Thornton, Andersen, Hutchinson, Woll.
Absence of Jimmy Vesey suggests to me he won’t be scratched tonight.
Vesey guessing aside, this was yesterday’s practice lines:
Today's @MapleLeafs practice lineup in Edmonton:
— Leafs PR (@LeafsPR) February 28, 2021
Thornton−Tavares−Marner
Barabanov−Kerfoot−Nylander
Mikheyev−Engvall−Hyman
Petan−Boyd−Spezza
Vesey−Agostino−Sabourin
Rielly−Brodie
Muzzin−Holl
Dermott−Bogosian
Lehtonen−Liljegren
Andersen, Hutchinson, Woll
Auston Matthews, officially a game-time decision is unlikely for tonight’s game. The not 100% healthy Zach Hyman and Joe Thornton will join Jake Muzzin (busted face) as playing while hurt.
Meanwhile the Oilers news included new D pairings today:

Nurse-Barrie
Jones-Larsson
Bouchard-Bear
Russell
And the Oilers claimed goalie Alex Stalock on waivers today, but he will be two weeks at least before he joins the team.
Game time tonight is 10 p.m., so those game-time decisions will come about 9:30 unless something leaks out sooner.
