TORONTO -- Tyler Bozak is anxious to get back into the
Toronto Maple Leafs lineup after missing almost a month
with a hamstring injury. But that doesnt mean hes making
any promises about playing Saturday against the
Washington Capitals. Bozak was one of just three players
to skate Friday and said he was fine despite leaving the
ice earlier than Mark Fraser and Frazer McLaren. "Its all
good, just a little bit of a hard skate," Bozak said
Friday. "Its needed, and hopefully Ill feel good tomorrow
morning and go from there." Bozak has missed 11 straight
games dating back to the Leafs game at the Columbus Blue
Jackets on Oct. 25. He has been nearing a return all
week, but theres no guarantee hell play against
Washington. He said hes not going to rush back if the
hamstring doesnt feel right. "You want to get back out
there but at the same time, its a long season," Bozak
said. "Theres a ton of hockey still to be played, so you
dont want to push yourself and tweak something or get
hurt again or even just not be able to play to your
ability and hold the team back a little bit." The plan
was for Bozak to get treatment Friday night and then
again Saturday morning. "Hopefully it all works well,"
the centre said. Roommate, friend and regular linemate
Phil Kessel has been asking Bozak "quite a bit" when hell
be back. In Bozaks absence, Kessel has played on a line
centred by Nazem Kadri, James van Riemsdyk and, most
recently, Peter Holland. Still, Bozak said Kessel doesnt
want him to come back too soon. And theres a need for
some self-restraint, too, given that hamstring injuries
can linger. "The hamstring you use quite a bit in this
sport," Bozak said. "Whatever you do, its probably
something thats going to nag for a little bit so I want
to get most of it healed up before I try to do too much
strenuous activity." NOTES -- The Leafs did dry-land
workouts Friday, the morning after losing 4-2 to the
Nashville Predators. Coach Randy Carlyle wondered after
the game if he and the coaching staff pushed players too
hard in practices or morning skates and said its their
job to monitor fatigue. Carlyle did not address the media
Friday. ... Toronto signed forward Connor Brown to a
three-year, entry-level contract. The 2012 sixth-round
pick leads the OHL in points with 46 while playing for
the Erie Otters.

(SportsNetwork.com) - Home ice hasnt been much of an
advantage for the Toronto Maple Leafs in recent meetings
with the New York Rangers, but the Leafs hope to reverse
that trend when they host their Original Six rivals on
Saturday. Although Toronto has won the last two
encounters with the Blueshirts, including a 6-3 win in
New York on Oct. 12, the Rangers have claimed five of the
past six battles at Air Canada Centre. The Maple Leafs
are only 3-4-0 as the host this season, but will be glad
to be home after going 0-1-1 on a recent two-game swing
trip to Arizona and Colorado. Toronto was dealt a 3-2
setback by the Coyotes on Tuesday before dropping a 4-3
shootout decision Thursday against the Avalanche. Alex
Tanguay scored the deciding marker in the third round of
the shootout to defeat the Leafs. Toronto did well to
earn a point, however, as Richard Paniks game-tying goal
with 1:16 left in regulation pushed the game to overtime.
Tyler Bozak and Phil Kessel also scored goals for the
Maple Leafs, who hope to avoid their first three-game
skid since closing 2013-14 with four straight regulation
losses. Kessel, who leads the Leafs with 18 points this
season, had a goal and two assists in Torontos rout of
the Rangers last month. The American winger has eight
goals and 11 assists over 28 career games against New
York. Jonathan Bernier suffered the loss against Colorado
despite making 31 stops. It was a great effort tonight to
get a point. We played really well in overtime, said
Bernier. Toronto could use both Bernier and James Reimer
in net this weekend. The Leafs also are in action Sunday
in Ottawa. There was a scary moment in Thursdays tilt as
Leafs forward Daniel Winnik was taken off the ice on a
stretcher. Winnik absorbed a hit from Avs defenseman Jan
Hejda and smacked the back of his head on the ice as the
two players were tangled up. Winnik was not taken to a
hospital and he could play in tonights game. Defenseman
Jake Gardiner also left the game with a lower-body injury
and is questionable for tonight. New York, meanwhile,
will welcome Derek Stepan to the ice on Saturday, as the
clubs top centerman expects to make his season debut.
Stepan has missed the first 12 games of the season while
recovering from a fractured fibula suffered during
practice in late September. In 882 games last season,
Stepan scored 17 goals and set career highs with 40
assists and 57 points.dddddddddddd The 24-year-old pivot
has registered a point in nine of his 14 career games
against Toronto, posting two goals and nine assists.
Rangers defenseman Dan Boyle also skated with the team
Friday and could return next week after recovering from a
broken hand he suffered in the season opener against St.
Louis. Boyle, who signed as a free agent in July, was
hurt while blocking a shot against the Blues. Like
Toronto, the Blueshirts are also playing on both Saturday
and Sunday, meaning backup Cam Talbot will start over
Henrik Lundqvist tonight. Talbot has seen action in three
games this season and made his second start of 2014-15 in
Mondays shootout loss to St. Louis. Lundqvist will start
Sundays game against Edmonton. Talbot relieved Lundqvist
in this seasons earlier meeting versus the Leafs. New
Yorks No. 1 netminder took the loss on Oct. 12 after
yielding all six goals on just 24 shots. Talbot is 2-0
with a 0.80 GAA in his three games (two starts) against
the Leafs. Lundqvist helped his club halt a two-game
slide Wednesday against Detroit. Lundqvist made 25 saves
in the 4-3 overtime win and Derick Brassard delivered the
game-winning goal to help the Rangers close a four-game
homestand with a 2-0-2 record. After Pavel Datsyuk went
off for tripping, New Yorks Dan Girardi unleashed a blast
from the point. Jonas Gustavsson made the initial save,
but the rebound trickled across the crease to Brassard,
who was present at the right side of the net to wrist it
home for the win. We knew from the beginning we were
facing a pretty good team playing some good hockey, but
we found a way, said Brassard. We made some hockey plays
there and it is what it is. In overtime, we had the
chance to get it done. Martin St. Louis and Brassard
finished with a goal and an assist apiece and Rick Nash
and Lee Stempniak both scored for the Rangers. Nash has
10 goals this season, leaving him one shy of Anaheims
Corey Perry for the league lead. The Brampton, Ontario
native has notched five goals and six assists in 15
career games against Toronto. The Rangers, who are 2-2-0
as the guest this season, are on the road for one game
before playing their next three at Madison Square Garden.
