I was pleasantly surprised with Marincin vs Chicago. Like everyone played poor defensively, but he did enough in my eyes to get more cracks at the lineup going forward.
Look like Johnsson may be a healthy scratch tonight along with Marincin & Holl.

Marincin's biggest problem has always been his confidence & believing he's good enough to play. when he does believe, he's an NHL Dman on all 31 teams.. when it falters man, it falters and he falls apart.

Goes into Dallas, a team that's let in 1 goal over 2 games, and pots 7. D was....Better.

So who gets the start tomorrow vs. Detroit? My thinking is it should be Sparks. Andersen hasn?t been great and maybe could use an early day off while Sparks could use the confidence boost by playing a crappy team and getting a win without letting in 6 goals like he did against Chicago. If Sparks struggles against a bad team than Dubas and Babcock will at least know they may have an issue with Sparks moving forward.

AM34 is on pace for 205 points this year. Gretzky's record is going down.

This is probably going to be a recurring situation for a while
Martin Marincin is set to rejoin the #leafs lineup tonight in Detroit in place of Igor Ozhiganov.
