Ron Wilson won’t tell us who’s starting tonight game, but Jonas Gustavsson left the ice first at today’s practice, meaning that he’s expected to start.
It’s hard to argue with Ron Wilson’s decision because of Vesa’s .571 save percentage on Saturday. However, Toskala is 6-1-1 with a 2.23 GAA in his last eight starts against the Senators. Also, he hasn’t lost in regulation in his last 15 games, but that stat is a little deceiving, as the Leafs have lost 8 of those games.
Nevertheless, it’ll be exciting to see how Gustavsson fares in his first NHL start.
Update:
-Gustavsson confirmed by Wilson as starter
-Kulemin in for “banged up” Primeau
-Mitchell fills in on 4th line
-Rosehill in for Mayers
-Exelby in for Finger
