Peter Holland out of the lineup, prospect to take his place!

Byron Froese will make his NHL debut tonight against the Montreal Canadiens.

Forward Peter Holland is expected to sit this one out.

Froese, who was playing the ECHL just last November, will likely play alongside P-A Parenteau and Mikael Grabner.

Leafs head coach Mike Babcock justifies this change of personal by saying this:

The Maple Leafs will try to do something that has yet to be done in the NHL this season, beat the Montreal Canadiens. They are at 8-0 with 5 players occupying the 5 top spots in the NHL for the Plus/Minus rating.

Montreal won last night 7-2 against the poor Buffalo Sabres, with Andrei Markov scoring a goal an adding 4 assists.

Carey Price will face Jonathan Bernier tonight, making his third straight start in a row, a first under Mike Babcock.
