Analysis:

Bozak has missed the last 18 contests, but is on track to be available soon. When healthy, the center has been one of the few bright spots in an otherwise dismal season in Toronto, as he's tallied 31 points in 47 outings, including two goals and six helpers with the man advantage. If you're set on using a Maple Leaf in daily lineups, you could certainly do worse than the 29-year-old.
