In case you've forgotten, the Leafs are up 1-0 in this series.

Nick Jensen and Ridly Greig did not skate this morning. Ottawa reporters say Jensen taking the skate off for rest is not unusual. Travis Hamonic skated in his spot, which seems a very unlikely way to replace him in a game, so we should expect to see him play.
Ridly Greig and Nick Jensen are both available for Ottawa in Game 2, per Travis Green.

Greig is another matter as the morning lines had Fabian Zetterlund moving up and Nick Cousins coming onto the fourth line. That looked more like an actual plan.
We'll know at gametime.

No changes from the lines that finished Game 1, which are not quite what started the game.

Seventeen thousand people tweeted that Anthony Stolarz was on the ice for morning skate. Which, last I saw, was to be expected.

“We’ve talked about that. (Gap tooth smile). But we don’t want to tell them.”
