Toronto Maple Leafs

Zach Bogosian took line rushes Wednesday as he prepares to make his return from an upper-body in Game 1 against the Montreal Canadiens.

Bogosian skated in the team's third pairing alongside Rasmus Sandin, while Travis Dermott was relegated to the role of extra alongside Martin Marincin. Marincin was recalled earlier Wednesday from the AHL with Ben Hutton sidelined by a medical issue.

 

 

Montreal Canadiens

Captain Shea Weber was a full participant in practice once again Wednesday, working in one-on-one drills and testing his slap shot as he prepares to play in his first game since April 28 on Thursday.

“I know he was like a little kid, being able to shoot and engage in some physical battles,” Canadiens forward Tyler Toffoli said of Weber.

Weber, meanwhile, said he won’t be wearing any extra protection for his apparent left hand injury. He also wouldn’t disclose how long he may have been suffering from this injury prior to being shut down on April 30.
