Today, the Toronto Maple Leafs are taking on the Detroit Red Wings for Thanksgiving, and two players will be on the outside looking in for this match.
If you are a fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs, today is going to be a good day, or at least, it is shaping up to be that way if the team wins.
Today is Canadian Thanksgiving, and at 2 PM, the Maple Leafs will be taking on their Original Six rivals, the Detroit Red Wings.
Overall, this promises to be an interesting matchup as the Leafs lost to the Red Wings on Saturday by a score of 6-3.
The team is trying to avenge this loss, and with Easton Cowan in the lineup on the first line, there is no doubt that this could be a turning point for the season.
Sammy Blais and Philippe Myers on the outside looking in
At practice yesterday, we got to see the forward lines and the defensive pairings. Based on this information, we know for a fact who will be a healthy scratch for today's game.
The scratches in question are none other than Sammy Blais and Philippe Myers. They were scratches in the first two games of the season, as well.
Myers just can't seem to find a spot on the team right now. Meanwhile, Blais will likely be on the outside looking in a lot this season.
Knies - Matthews - Cowan
Maccelli - Tavares - Nylander
Roberson - Domi - McMann
Joshua - Roy - Jarnkrok
Blais
McCabe - Tanev
Rielly - Carlo

Overall, this is a solid lineup for the Maple Leafs, who are trying to show that they really do have speed and that they can score goals.
After a horrible Saturday night, we should learn a lot about this team today as they look to truly bounce back.
