Maple Leafs' Tyler Bozak: In the lineup for Saturday's preseason finale

Bozak (undisclosed) will participate in Saturday's preseason finale against the Red Wings, TSN's Mark Masters reports.

Analysis:

Bozak's owners can breathe a sigh of relief, as there was some uncertainty surrounding the veteran forward's potential availability for Toronto's Oct. 12 regular-season opener against Ottawa when he was diagnosed with an undisclosed ailment Thursday. However, Bozak's presence on Saturday's game-day roster suggests he'll be at full health heading into the regular season. The Saskatchewan native is expected to slot into a top-six role with the Leafs this season, and should be able to notch somewhere in the neighborhood of 45 points if he's able to avoid sustaining any long-term injuries.
