Marlies: McKegg in as Frattin, Kadri, Zigomanis out with injuries

Time for Joe Colborne to step up and shine


Greg McKegg has been practicing with the Marlies for the past couple of days so look for him to crack the Marlies lineup, either for the opener in Norfolk or further down the line. With Frattin, Kadri, Zigomanis and Ashton all out, McKegg's scoring could be a welcome addition in the Calder Cup finals.


The key player to watch for the Toronto Marlies will be Joe Colborne. He started the season spectacularly and played well during a callup to the Leafs in November / December, however struggled mightily when sent back down to the AHL. It is now time for Joe to put the Marlies on his back and carry them to victory, which will go a long ways in convincing Brian Burke and Randy Carlyle that he is ready to join the Maple Leafs for the 2012-2013 season.
