"If the lines stay the same as they were during Tuesday's practice for the Leafs, then it certainly seems like the 31-year-old Laughton will be able to get on the ice for the first time this season after suffering an injury after blocking a shot in the preseason. It's been some long weeks but he's finally here 13 games into the season."
"Laughton appears to be returning as the Leafs' fourth-line center with regular linemate Steven Lorentz and Max Domi. Domi has not played up to par whatsoever this season, as he's been demoted from being Auston Matthews's winger all the way down to just being someone who can maybe bring some amount of offense to the bottom six. The pairing of Laughton and Domi is an interesting one."
Scott Laughton suffered a preseason injury after blocking a shot and is set to make his season debut 13 games into the campaign. He practiced with the Leafs in lines that include Knies-Matthews-Nylander and Robertson-Tavares-McMann, and appears slated to center a fourth line with Steven Lorentz and Max Domi. Max Domi has struggled and been moved away from Auston Matthews's wing to the bottom six. Laughton brings experience playing with skilled linemates in Philadelphia, including Travis Konecny and Owen Tippett. The matchup against Utah's top-heavy roster will provide a strong test for that fourth line.
