*Patrice Bergeron (lower body) did not make the trip to Toronto and will miss tonight's game. Boston head coach Claude Julien said the centre remains day-to-day.
*27-year-old James van Riemsdyk was the only current Leaf to crack list of the franchise's top 100 players, which was unveiled yesterday. "You know what, I was laughing about that with my dad, it's the first time I've ever felt old in my career so far, but it's all great and it's a huge honour to be part of that," said van Riemsdyk, who's entering his fifth season in Toronto. The players are embracing the centennial season spirit and there was a picture of the 100 greatest players posted in the dressing room this morning. "I went to Legends' Row the other night and it was spectacular so there's tons of history here, our job is to create the next 100 years," coach Mike Babcock said. "You know, if you're a fan you can come to the rink and buy some sweaters and think they're going to be here for awhile."
