Projected lineups for Maple Leafs, Penguins

Here are the projected lineups for Wednesday night's game between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Pittsburgh Penguins:

MAPLE LEAFS

Clarke MacArthur – Tyler Bozak – Phil Kessel

James van Riemsdyk – Mikhail Grabovski – Nikolai Kulemin

Joffrey Lupul – Nazem Kadri – Leo Komarov

Mike Brown – Jay McClement – Colton Orr

Dion Phaneuf – Michael Kostka

John-Michael Liles – Cody Franson

Carl Gunnarsson – Mike Komisarek

James Reimer

Ben Scrivens

Injured: Jake Gardiner

Scratched: Korbinian Holzer, Mark Fraser, David Steckel

After the morning skate, Gardiner (concussion) said he still needed to be cleared by doctors before he could play Wednesday night -- but he left open the possibility of that happening in the afternoon. Even if that happened, though, coach Randy Carlyle would still need to insert the 22-year-old into the lineup. Fraser also took some shifts in place of Komisarek at the skate.

PENGUINS

Chris Kunitz – Sidney Crosby – Pascal Dupuis

Eric Tangradi – Evgeni Malkin – James Neal

Matt Cooke – Brandon Sutter – Tyler Kennedy

Tanner Glass – Joe Vitale – Craig Adams

Matt Niskanen – Kris Letang

Brooks Orpik – Paul Martin

Simon Despres – Deryk Engelland

Marc-Andre Fleury

Tomas Vokoun

Injured: None

Scratched: Robert Bortuzzo, Dustin Jeffrey, Ben Lovejoy

As is his custom, coach Dan Bylsma did not reveal his lineup, but there is a chance that Bortuzzo makes his season debut in place of Despres against the Leafs. While praising Despres' overall talent level, Bylsma was lukewarm when discussing the 21-year-old's play in season-opening wins at Philadelphia and the New York Rangers this past weekend.
