"The Toronto Maple Leafs have been struggling defensively since the start of the season and it looks like they'll get a much needed boost. Defenseman Travis Dermott confirmed to reporters that he's been medically cleared to play and is extremely excited to get back into the lineup.«I've been thinking about and dreaming about [that first game] for the last six months so it's really exciting.»
Head coach Mike Babcock then told reporters that Dermott will jump back into the lineup on Tuesday against the Washington Capitals. As of right now it looks like he'll play on the third pairing with Justin Holl.
