Defenseman Morgan Rielly, who's missed the past six games with an ankle injury, said he'll be a game-time decision. Reilly has skated the past two days in St. Louis, including the morning skate on Thursday. However, he was paired with extra defenseman Frank Corrado. "I felt good this morning, but nothing's 100 percent yet, so we'll see at game time," he said. "It's going in the right direction. ... I feel like I've had enough of watching, so I'm looking forward to coming back and try to help the team." Coach Mike Babcock said he'll leave the decision up to his young defenseman. Ben Smith took part in the morning skate as a fourth-line center. If he plays, Frederik Gauthier will be assigned to Toronto of the American Hockey League. "We'll know more after," Babcock said of Smith, who's missed the past 18 games with a hand injury. "One of the trainers will call me and tell me after they look at him and see and then we'll make those decisions. The same with Rielly." Goaltender Frederik Andersen will start after allowing three goals on eight shots in 11:12 before being replaced in a 6-3 loss at the Dallas Stars on Tuesday. Toronto enters play one point behind the Philadelphia Flyers for the second wild card into the Stanley Cup Playoffs from the Eastern Conference but has three games in hand.
