Status report
Tkachuk did not practice Sunday but will play. ... Ekblad, a defenseman, is serving the last of a two-game suspension for his hit on Tampa Bay Lightning forward Brandon Hagel in Game 4 of the first round. ... The Maple Leafs will use the same 18 skaters since Pacioretty entered the lineup in Game 3 of the first round against the Ottawa Senators on April 24.
