"As noted in the tweet above, Scott Laughton missed morning skate for maintenance and will be in the lineup for the Leafs. Laughton has scored in each of his last three games and has seemingly caught a new wave of confidence in his play lately, so this is good news for all parties, especially considering he's already missed time due to injury twice this season."
"Robertson, meanwhile, will be a scratch for the first time since late October. It was his longest run without a healthy scratch in his tenure as a Leaf, but with one goal in his last nine games, he will ride the pine in an effort to give him a reset. He has a tendency to score when he returns to the lineup after a healthy scratch, so keep an eye on him when he returns."
Maple Leafs will return Calle Jarnkrok and Dakota Mermis to the lineup, replacing Nick Robertson and Philippe Myers. Scott Laughton missed morning skate for maintenance but will play after scoring in each of his last three games. Matias Maccelli skated as a fourth-line placeholder and appears likely to be scratched again after inconsistent playing time; he has four goals and nine points in 22 games. Robertson will sit for the first time since October as a reset after one goal in nine games. The Lightning will start Jonas Johansson with Andrei Vasilevskiy on injured reserve; Johansson is 5-4-0 with a 2.85 GAA and .896 save percentage. The game streams exclusively on Amazon Prime.
