MAPLE LEAFS (17-20-9) at PANTHERS (28-15-5)
TV: FS-F, TSN4
Season series: The Florida Panthers won three of four games against the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2014-15. Jonathan Huberdeau led Florida with two goals and two assists. Nazem Kadri led Toronto with two goals and two assists.
Maple Leafs team scope: Goalie James Reimer will make his fourth start in a row. Forward Nick Spaling is ready to return from an upper-body injury that sidelined him the past 16 games. "I think Nick is in unless something happens," coach Mike Babcock told the Maple Leafs website. Spaling was activated from injured reserve Monday and practiced on a line with center Peter Holland and left wing Joffrey Lupul at BB&T Center. Forward James van Riemsdyk (broken foot) was placed on IR; he has not played since Jan. 9 and is expected to be out until at least late February. The Maple Leafs' fathers are with them for their two games in Florida; they play the Tampa Bay Lightning on Wednesday. Forward Brad Boyes, who played the past two seasons with Florida, will face his former teammates for the first time since signing with Toronto after a professional tryout at training camp.
Panthers team scope: Goalie Roberto Luongo will make his third start in a row. Forward Brandon Pirri, a healthy scratch for the past two games, might return to the lineup, coach Gerard Gallant told the Panthers website. Defenseman Willie Mitchell, out since Jan. 18 with an undisclosed injury, did not practice Monday. Florida became the first team in more than 25 years to defeat the Stanley Cup finalists from the previous season on consecutive nights with home wins Friday against the champion Chicago Blackhawks and Saturday against the runner-up Lightning. Gallant, however, hopes the Panthers are not looking ahead to their time away. "We've got the All-Star break coming up, but we've got to make sure we are ready to work," Gallant said.
