Status report

Grzelcyk and Brazeau will each return after missing a 5-1 loss at the New York Islanders on Saturday with undisclosed injuries. ... Zacha, who left the game early Saturday with a lower-body injury, is a game-time decision. The forward did not take line rushes at the morning skate. ... It is unclear who will start in goal for the Maple Leafs; Samsonov was the first goalie off the ice at morning skate, but coach Sheldon Keefe said, “We don’t want Woll to sit for too long.” He did not disclose his starter. ... Lyubushkin is expected to play after leaving his Maple Leafs debut, a 4-3 shootout win against the New York Rangers on Saturday, in the second period because of concussion protocol after taking a hard hit from Matt Rempe along the boards.
