John Tavares: Expected to Play Wednesday Despite Flu-Like Illness

John Tavares (illness) is expected to be available for Wednesday's divisional matchup in Tampa Bay, despite not practicing Tuesday due to the flu. Barring any setbacks, the 35-year-old center should be good to go in what will be a crucial game for the Maple Leafs. Tavares will likely skate between Matias Maccelli and William Nylander on the second line against the Bolts.
