Toronto Maple Leafs

Defenceman Travis Dermott is absent from today's practice. He left Thursday's game against the Vancouver Canucks with what head coach Sheldon Keefe described as a charley horse and expected to be a minor ailment.

Keefe said after the skate that Dermott will not play Saturday against the Canucks and Mikko Lehtonen will draw back in. 

Sheldon Keefe said Travis Dermott will not play tomorrow. Mikko Lehtonen will go in against Vancouver.

Keefe’s message to Rasmus Sandin: “Right now, it’s Mikko’s time.”
