Nicolas Aube-Kubel is expected to be a healthy scratch Saturday

Aube-Kubel looks like he will be the odd man out for the Maple Leafs Saturday as they take on the Winnipeg Jets. After signing from the Colorado Avalanche in the offseason, NAK has struggled in his first five games in Toronto, only collecting one shot while averaging 9:00 TOI on the Leafs' fourth line.

Petersen was the first goalie off of the ice at the Kings morning skate.

Cal Petersen will draw his second start in three games after stopping 32 of 35 shots in a 4-3 victory over Nashville earlier Monday. After conceding the first two games of the season to Jonathan Quick in Kings' losses, Petersen will have started three of the last four games struggling with a 2-0-0 record off a high 4.32 GAA and low .866 SV%. He takes on a Penguins team that has a point in all three games with six goals being scored in two of those outings.

Petersen draws his second start of the season as the 2-2-0 Kings head to Nashville to take on the equal-in-record Predators on the road. Petersen won his opening start Saturday albeit playing incredibly shakey stopping 29 of 35 shots on way to a 7-6 victory over the Minnesota Wild.
