Status report
Maple Leafs coach Craig Berube said after the morning skate he expects Ekman-Larsson, a defenseman, to be ready for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs this weekend, but “you never know.” … McCabe, a defenseman, is uncertain to return before the regular-season finale Thursday. … Power will miss the final two games of the regular season and his injury “looks to be” serious, according to Sabres coach Lindy Ruff. The defenseman was injured late in the second period of a 3-2 shootout loss to the Florida Panthers on Saturday. … Rosen was recalled from Rochester of the American Hockey League on Tuesday and will replace Malenstyn, a forward.
