Sundin to miss Maple Leafs-Red Wings alumni game with wife expecting

The Toronto Maple Leafs' all-time goals leader will not take the ice for the club's alumni game against the Detroit Red Wings on New Years Eve.

Former captain Mats Sundin - who was expected to play - has pulled out with his wife expecting to give birth to the couple's third child, according to TSN's Kristen Shilton.

Defenseman Tomas Kaberle was also supposed to suit up but was not on the final roster of the game due to the fact he'll be attending a funeral in the Czech Republic.

Meanwhile for the Red Wings, after appearing on the initial roster, forward Sergei Fedorov was not named to the lastest list.
