Status report
- Pacioretty will play after being a healthy scratch the past two games. He will replace Reaves, a forward. The Maple Leafs did not do line rushes at the morning skate, so it is unclear which line Pacioretty will play on.
- Woll, a goalie who has missed each of Toronto’s first five games, participated in the morning skate. Coach Craig Berube said he could “possibly” start at the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday.
