Status report
Reimer will start after Lyon started the past six games. … The Maple Leafs assigned Murray to Toronto of the American Hockey League for conditioning; the goalie has not played this season following hip surgery in September, but is expected to see AHL game action … Edmundson will not play Saturday; coach Sheldon Keefe said “something popped up” unrelated to a previous injury that kept the defenseman out eight games until he returned for a 6-5 loss to the New Jersey Devils on Thursday. … Liljegren will return after missing eight games with an upper-body injury.
