PREGAME NOTES

• Jake DeBrusk returns to the lineup for the first time since the Winter Classic. "He's been cleared to play for a little while, but it's where he's at with the tenderness and getting back to checking the boxes to be ready mentally and physically for himself as well," Jim Montgomery told reporters.
• Jakub Lauko was sent down to Providence to make room for DeBrusk.
• Montgomery not worried about the Leafs trading for Ryan O'Reilly and Noel Acciari. “No, we’re really comfortable,” he said. “I would still take our roster over anybody else’s.”
• Islanders are coming off a 5-4 OT victory over the Penguins on Friday night. That's a tough turnaround.
