It will mark the first time this season that reigning Calder Trophy winner Connor Bedard makes an appearance in Toronto, while it will also feature the return of former forward Tyler Bertuzzi, who played last season with the Leafs but signed a four-year contract with the Blackhawks over the offseason.
But the Leafs will be short a man when they hit the ice. Defenseman Jake McCabe, who was struck in the side of the head by an errant shot from Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Nick Perbix, will not be playing against the Blackhawks.
