According to a press release at torontomapleleafs.com, Jonas Gustavsson will undergo heart ablation procedure once again. He had one on September 15th, 2009 after experiencing an elevated heart rate during a practice with the Leafs.
Gustavsson left Tuesday night's game after the first period in a 3-0 defeat to the Canadiens, after he said he felt the same way he did when his heart rate elevated.
This would mean Joey MacDonald will probably get the start tonight against the Columbus Blue Jackets. MacDonald made 18 saves in the 3-0 shutout victory against Montreal.
If MacDonald plays as well as he did on Tuesday, the Leafs have a good chance of winning. In their last 5 games, the Leafs are 3-1-1. MacDonald was not the only factor on Tuesday night. The Leafs defense was outstanding in limiting quality chances against MacDonald. If the Leafs continue to play the way they have over the last couple of weeks, they could do some damage, however don't start growing your playoff beard just yet.
Note: Carl Gunnarsson was injured in Monday night's game versus the Sabres with a hyper-extended left elbow. He's expected to be out 6 weeks.
Remember, tonight's game is @ 7:00 on Leafs TV. Enjoy the game!
