The Toronto Maple Leafs have locked in their final roster of the pre-season season.
Toronto's lineup will likely resemble a regular season group as they finish the pre-season against the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday evening.
Nick Robertson isn't in the lineup for Toronto's matchup against the Red Wings on Saturday evening. He's played in four pre-season games already and has scored five goals. The 23-year-old forward missed Friday's practice with an upper-body injury.
He was on the ice on Saturday morning, along with Easton Cowan, who also missed Friday's skate. Calle Jarnkrok and Jake McCabe are dealing with day-to-day injuries and weren't on the ice ahead of Toronto's final pre-season matchup.
All four of Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner, John Tavares, and William Nylander will play. Although Timothy Liljegren took the ice for the team's morning skate, he won't be in the lineup on Saturday night.
Phillipe Myers will play, likely alongside Oliver Ekman-Larsson on Toronto's second defense pairing.
This is how the Maple Leafs' power play units look ahead of Saturday's game.
The Maple Leafs didn't do any line rushes ahead of their game on Saturday night. With Anthony Stolarz playing on Thursday, Joseph Woll will likely get the start in the final game of the pre-season.
