Report: Lines and Bozak update from practice

The Toronto Maple Leafs hit the ice for a practice this morning following a 3-game Western road swing that saw them collect 4 out of a possible 6 points.

Tyler Bozak, after missing the game against the Vancouver Canucks due to illness, was in no shape to return to the ice today.

Here are the lines that Mike Babcock rolled with in practice today.

They are a small departure from the lines that were used out West (without Bozak).

The lines were juggled in the last game, but they mostly returned to what they were, with Patrick Marleau and William Nylander switching spots. After putting up strong performances in the past few games, Nylander has slowly crawled his way back up the lineup from the fourth line. His position at center on the third line is a big vote of confidence from Babcock.

The Leafs play Wednesday against the Calgary Flames.
