Ansar Khan reports Ville Leino will sit again tomorrow night. Meanwhile, Justin Abdelkader will see time as the second line center when the Eurotwins are together. Miller will be the fourth line center when Abdelkader’s working the second unit.

No surprise on Leino, who has done nothing in weeks to show he belongs in the lineup. As for Abdelkader, that will be interesting. Assuming he’s going in with a mandate to keep it simple, maybe he can find Bertuzzi’s page and create something that way.

Also, Filppula is tantalizingly close to a return, having gotten his cast removed. He should be back by the end of the month.

As expected, Howard will start again.
