Forward Martin St. Louis (knee) is expected to skate today with the team. He is unlikely to return to the lineup until after the weekend. - Darren Dreger, TSN
Ottawa Senators
Toronto Maple Leafs
Recalled F Greg McKegg from Toronto Marlies (AHL). McKegg will also suit up for the Leafs and will play "big minutes" against the Panthers. McKegg, who played limited minutes in his first three NHL games, will be paired with Joffrey Lupul and David Booth. - Team Release
Neither Zach Sill or Trevor Smith skated this morning which means that McKegg is likely to draw into the lineup. Jonathan Bernier was not at the Leafs' optional practice which suggests he will start tonight against the Florida Panthers. - Mark Masters, TSN
Casey Bailey will make his NHL debut tonight against the Florida Panthers. He'll be paired with Sam Carrick and Joakim Lindstrom. Bailey led the Big-10 with 22 goals for Penn State. - Jonas Siegel, TSN
