Lineup Shuffling
With the return of Mats Sundin on Saturday night and the lack of scoring during that game, coach Paul Maurice tinkered with the lineup at Monday's practice as they get ready for tonight's game against the Boston Bruins. Alexei Ponikarovsky remains on the number one line, Kyle Wellwood shifts back to the wing, with Sundin centering the two. Nik Antropov finds himself with Micheal Peca and Bates Battaglia. Matt Stajan will be centering Darcy Tucker and Jeff O'Neil. Alex Steen was shifted back to his natural position, and will likely be centering Chad Kilger and John Pohl.

Harrison On Waivers
The Leafs placed defenseman Jay Harrison on waivers yesterday in an attempt to send him to the Toronto Marlies. Nick Kypreos of SportsNet just noted that Harrison hasn't been claimed by anyone yet, and that he most likely won't be picked up. The Leafs have been worried for awhile that if he was placed on waivers, he'd be grabbed by someone. If he does pass through waivers, I'd be surprised. He has played well in his limited games with the Leafs this season. Harrison is still young, with a low salary, and has shown improvement in his play the last year or so. Paul Maurice has really turned around Harrison's game. Up until last year when Maurice was coaching the Marlies, Harrison's pro career had leveled out, but his play improved so much that he received a call-up late last year.
