Status report: The Red Wings did not hold a morning skate following a 5-2 win at the New Jersey Devils on Wednesday. ... Mrazek is likely to start and return after missing 11 games with an upper-body injury. ... The Maple Leafs will dress the same lineup they used in a 4-0 win at the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday. ... Defensemen McCabe and Ekman-Larsson each took part in Toronto's morning skate but will not play; McCabe will miss his seventh straight game and Ekman-Larsson his fourth, but coach Craig Berube said he is confident each will be ready for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference First Round against the Ottawa Senators.
For real. Seriously nothing to play for team-wise or individually. Maybe JT getting 40. But whatever.
