Lineup notes (updated 4:30 p.m.)

Tyson Kozak left Friday’s game with a lower-body injury and will not play tonight, coach Lindy Ruff announced postgame. Josh Dunne has been recalled from Rochester and will start in place.

Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen will make his season debut in goal. Here's the full projected lineup:

Scouting the Maple Leafs

Toronto will start backup goaltender Cayden Primeau in goal, coach Craig Berube confirmed. Primeau stopped 26 of 30 shots in his only prior game this season, a win over Nashville.

The major question surrounding the Maple Leafs will be the status of top defenseman Morgan Rielly, who missed Friday’s game due to an injury but has not been ruled out for tonight.

Toronto is without another key piece on defense in Chris Tanev, who is on injured reserve.
