Maple Leafs' Connor Carrick: Expected to return Saturday
Carrick (upper body) is expected to return to Toronto's lineup for Saturday's game against the Canadiens, Kristen Shilton of TSN.ca reports.
Analysis:
Carrick isn't known for his offensive contributions, as he only notched eight points in 67 games last season, but his return to action will improve the Maple Leafs' bottom-pairing effectiveness. With Carrick ready to go, Calle Rosen will likely be scratched from the lineup against Montreal.
