Leafs' captain Sundin cleared to play
TSN.ca Staff

The Toronto Maple Leafs got some good news on Friday when Mats Sundin was cleared to play. He will suit up Saturday when the Leafs host the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Sundin, who has been out of the lineup since October 5th, was practicing with Jeff O'Neill and Alexei Ponikarovsky on Friday.

''Yes, I just talked to the coach, I felt good today so yeah, I'm going to try and play tomorrow,'' Maple Leafs centre Mats Sundin told the Canadian Press Friday after practice, on the eve of Toronto's game with the Tampa Bay Lightning.

The Leafs' captain was hurt just seven minutes into Toronto's first game of the season against the Ottawa Senators when a shot from the point caught Sundin just below the left eye.

He immediately dropped to the ice and covered his bloody face while rolling around in pain. He lost complete vision in the eye for five minutes and it took a few days for the blood to clear. Sundin also suffered a fractured orbital bone.

Good to see Mats will be back this weekend. Hopefully he gets O'Neill going again, and Poni has shown that he can be an alright complementary player this season. He hustles, is willing to do the dirty work along the boards, and with a player like Sundin might be able to put up a decent amount of points.

That way, if anybody says, "Hey, can you give me a hand?" You can say, "Sorry, got these sacks."
