Status report
Giordano will miss his second straight game but the defenseman is expected to be ready for the start of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. … Tavares and Lafferty, each a forward, left the Maple Leafs to return to Toronto for personal reasons. … Richard, who played at the University of New Brunswick this season, was signed to an amateur tryout to back up Woll. ... Samonov, a goalie, will not dress.
