Gudbranson hasn't played yet this season since off season shoulder surgery, an injury he suffered while wake boarding. He was suspended and sent to the AHL where he recently played two games, he has yet to practice with the Panthers but could very well be in the lineup tonight.
The Leafs have only scored 3 goals in the first two games, two of which are from Kadri. This switch could get things going and JVR should be set to see more ice time. (AVG 13:46 in first 2 games)
JVR bruised his foot blocking a shot on Tuesday, but looks like he'll be ready for Saturday. JVR has tremendous upside and will have the best opportunity of his young career. As long as he stays healthy a career is certainly possible.
Good news for Leafs fans and JVR fantasy owners alike. Looks like he'll be ready to go for the season opener. Monitor his status going forward.
This is not how JVR wanted to start his career as a Leaf. There is no timetable for his return from the bruised foot. JVR could be in for a career season in Toronto if he can stay healthy.
