Justin Holl will make his return to the lineup tonight in the place of Travis Dermott after a tough dash-three performance for the Rielly-Dermott pairing against LA. Stepping back in where he left off next to Jake Muzzin, Holl won’t be eased back into the fold and should see ample ice time against the likes of Claude Giroux, Sean Couturier, and Travis Konecny tonight.
It was arguably long overdue knowing Travis Dermott was not going to be a long-term solution on the right side inside the Leafs‘ top four over the length of the season and into the playoffs.
