"The Toronto Maple Leafs are hosting Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins and as they continue to shuffle the lineup to try and find some offense this season, head coach Craig Berube has made the decision to make winger Matias Maccelli a healthy scratch for Monday night's game. It wasn't announced before the game or was even really clear during morning skate earlier in the day, but Maccelli was not on the ice for warm-ups just minutes before puck drop."
"Maccelli was acquired by the Leafs from the Utah Mammoth for nothing but a conditional third-round pick this summer and it was seen as a very shrewd move from Toronto general manager Craig Berube. The 25-year-old Finnish winger has already scored 57 points and was seen as someone that can eventually bounce back and reach that production again. But unfortunately, his career in Toronto is off to a rocky start."
Craig Berube scratched winger Matias Maccelli for Monday night's game against the Pittsburgh Penguins, removing him from warm-ups minutes before puck drop. Maccelli had been on the third line at morning skate next to Dakota Joshua and Nicolas Roy, but was replaced in the game-day lineup. Toronto acquired Maccelli from the Utah Mammoth for a conditional third-round pick; the 25-year-old Finnish winger previously scored 57 points in a season and was expected to provide offensive depth. Maccelli has two goals and five points in 12 games with a 13:40 average time on ice, projecting to a 34-point 82-game pace. He has not secured a top-six role behind rookies Easton Cowan and Nick Robertson.
