He had one fight and nine penalty minutes in total in his first two games.<\/p>\n Berube said Pezzetta will take the lineup spot of winger Calle Jarnkrok, who will be scratched. Defenceman Oliver Ekman-Larsson will play after he departed practice early on Monday and Morgan Rielly will return after missing one game with a lower-body injury. Berube didn\u2019t say which D-man will be scratched.<\/p>\n Your Midday Sun<\/p>\n Thanks for signing up!<\/p>\n Article content<\/p>\n Advertisement 3<\/p>\n This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.<\/p>\n Article content<\/p>\n Anthony Stolarz will start in goal for the Leafs and Jeremy Swayman gets the call in net for the Bruins.<\/p>\n It\u2019s the mentors trip for the Leafs, before the club returns home to take on the New York Rangers on Wednesday night.

We\u2019re going to continue to push him because he is not there yet, but he has made some nice strides.<\/p>\n Advertisement 4<\/p>\n This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.<\/p>\n Article content<\/p>\n \u201cAs an overall player, there is always room (for growth). Look at him, he looks like a 15-year-old.
