Nathan Gerbe was putting pressure on himself to put up numbers in the NHL. Through 10 games the rookie had just one assist so he's going back to Portland. Paul Gaustad returns from a shoulder separation and takes Gerbe's spot on the LW with Derek Roy and Drew Stafford.
Lindy Ruff said Maxim Afinogenov and Henrik Tallinder are very close to returning. Both are practicing fully. Afinogenov alternated on the Jochen Hecht line.
Hecht, Clarke MacArthur and Jason Pominville had one of their better games of the season in Toronto. Lindy Ruff said he sat the line down and had them explain why their games were so noticable against the Leafs. He felt they moved their feet from the defensive zone on up which got them skating and on the puck when they got to the offensive zone
