It appears that the Red Wings will start Cam Talbot against the Toronto Maple Leafs this evening (7 PM EST start on FanDuel Sportsnet Detroit/Sportsnet Ontario/TVA Sports/97.1 FM) and that Ben Chiarot and Simon Edvinsson will return from their upper-body injuries. The Hockey News’s David Alter offers updates from the Maple Leafs’ morning skate:
As the Leafs get ready for a full skate here, Chris Tanev is on the ice. Missed last game despite taking warmups with a lower-body injury. @BodogCA

Full skate is underway and Auston Matthews is NOT taking part. He has missed the last couple of games after aggravating an upper-body injury.
