Toronto Maple Leafs forward Tyler Bozak was not at the morning skate and missed practice on Friday. Coach Mike Babcock said he would be a game-time decision. If Bozak can't play, Ben Smith, who has been a healthy scratch the past two games, will play. The Maple Leafs are trying to avoid being swept by the Canadiens this season; Montreal won 2-1 on Oct. 29, 2-1 on Nov. 19, and 5-3 on Jan. 7. The Maple Leafs are third in the division, four points behind the first-place Canadiens with one game in hand. "It's a good feeling," defenseman Morgan Rielly said. "This is the most important game between these two teams since I've been here. There's lots of history here but since I've been in Toronto, there's a lot on the line tonight, it's a big game, it's important in the standings and both teams need wins." Goaltender Frederik Andersen will make his third consecutive start. After losing 2-1 in a shootout on Thursday against Henrik Lundqvist and the New York Rangers, Andersen is looking forward to going up against another top goalie in Price. "It's going to be a goalie battle usually when you play those kinds of goalies," Andersen said. "It's a fun challenge." Toronto is 2-0-1 in its past three games.
