New opponent, same result.
Upon returning to Ontario for a five-game homestand on Wednesday, about the only new news was Forward Lias Andersson was set to play after being sidelined for nearly two months.
Any sense of rust was at least absent from the scorecard, as he scored two goals that night vs. Tucson. A mere 48 hours later changed nothing either. With the Silver Knights in town on Friday for the first of two games, Andersson was up to the same old tricks.

Has Turcotte been a healthy scratch? I feel like he hasn’t played the last few games.
Been out injured for a few weeks. See here: https://twitter.com/mayorNHL/status/1497716613830701058
