Preview
The Toronto Maple Leafs are playing their second-to-last game of the preseason against the Detroit Red Wings at 7 p.m. tonight (live blog starts at quarter to game time).
For many players, tonight is the last chance they get to prove they belong with the big club. Christian Hanson, John Mitchell, Luca Caputi, and Nazem Kadri will all be playing for only one or two available positions. With four players vying for jobs, tonight should be an entertaining affair.
Coming off two goals and one assist on Wednesday night, Kadri hopes to stick with the big club but is prepared for anything.
"Yeah, for sure, I'm ready for anything...and wherever I play, it's their (management) decision," Kadri told Mark Zwolinski of The Toronto Star. "I hope I can start here (NHL), but my goal is to be here."
Another spectacular performance is the only way he makes it past tonight, something Kadri knows as well.
For Hanson, Mitchell and Caputi, tonight's game will decide who gets to start this season on the ice or in the press box. Look for the line of Hanson, Caputi and Mike Brown to surprise a few people.
