Ben Ondrus will be making his first start of the season tonight against the Columbus Blue Jackets. He'll be playing on the 4th line with Bates Battaglia and John Pohl. Ondrus won't step in and start scoring goals, but he does provide the team with some grit and hustle, which will be needed after the way the Leafs played the Avs on Wednesday.

Alexei Ponikarovsky is back on the top line with Sundin and Wellwood. Darcy Tucker will be skating with Peca and Kilger. I wouldn't be surprised to see Maurice alter the lines during the game if they are having trouble scoring on the Blue Jackets.

Jay Harrison will be a healthy scratch with Wade Belak dropping back to the point. Belak will be paired with Brendan Bell as the third defensive pairing.
