However now it's back to business as the team takes on the red hot Bruins tonight who are 7-1-2 in their last 10 games. Leafs players will be happy to find out they'll be getting a boost on the blueline tonight as head coach Mike Babcock announced some changes to his defense. All nine Leafs defenseman were on the ice for practice Saturday morning and Babcock confirmed that Morgan Rielly will be returning to the lineup. Rielly will take his regular spot beside Ron Hainsey while Jake Gardiner will play with Zaitsev. However it looks like red hot rookie Justin Holl will take a seat in the press box Saturday as Babcock confirmed the third pairing to be Travis Dermott and Connor Carrick. Babcock also confirmed they'll be no changes to the forward lines so Matt Martin will be a healthy scratch once again. What do you think of tonight's defensive pairings?"
