One notable name on this list is Dominic Moore. The veteran center, 37, is currently competing with recently signed Miro Aaltonen for the fourth line center role, and this may be his last chance to prove he’s worthy of it.

Miro Aaltonen skates with 1st group today. Not expected to travel to Detroit. Looks like Dom Moore will be 4th centre tonight. #tmltalk

Known for his faceoff prowess and general reliability as a utility player, Moore has made a career of jumping from team to team in need of reinforcement for the playoffs, and he rarely disappoints. This season, he might have trouble finding a regular spot in Toronto’s lineup, as Mike Babcock has publicly praised Aaltonen throughout camp.

Tonight may be Moore’s last chance to take a regular spot in a NHL lineup.
