The Maple Leafs announced yesterday that John Tavares, Mitch Marner and William Nylander missed practice as they were dealing with an illness.
Tavares and Marner had already missed one game, and fortunately, it looks like they'll be good to go tonight.
Toronto Maple Leafs Head Coach Sheldon Keefe Reveals Marner, Tavares and Nylander Will be Able to Play Tonight
In a surprising twist, the coach announced that Marner, Tavares and Nylander will play tonight as the Leafs take on the Flyers.
Per Luke Fox:
"Keefe expects Tavares, Marner and Nylander will be good to go tonight vs. Flyers."

Leafs fans can breathe a sigh of relief. The Flyers are having a surprisingly great season and it wouldn't have been easy to beat them without three of their best players.
The puck is set to drop at 7 PM E.T. in Toronto as the Maple Leafs will try to win a second straight game without Morgan Rielly, who's serving his suspension.
More to come.
