Breaking: Babcock announces huge changes to tonight's lineup!

It has been speculated that Toronto Maple Leafs forward James van Riemsdyk would be out for tonight's tilt against the Philadelphia Flyers, and we finally got confirmation of that.

With Kasperi Kapanen called up, most expected there to be some uncertainty over who would play tonight - him, or Josh Leivo?

Well now we have the answer, and it's not quite what we had expected.

Martin, JVR won't play, getting treatment for minor injuries, Kapanen and Leivo in. Both could play Monday in San Jose.

Matt Martin suffered a minor injury against the Carolina Hurricanes - he finished the game but he was labouring. We now know that it isn't a question of who will play over who - both Leivo and Kapanen will be needed in tonight's lineup with both JVR and Martin recovering from their injuries.

Leaf lines tonight should look as follows:

Hyman-Matthews-Nylander
Komarov-Kadri-Brown
Marleau-Bozak-Marner
Leivo-Moore-Kapanen
