Maple Leafs' Ilya Lyubushkin: Misses practice Friday

Lyubushkin (personal) missed practice Friday, but he'll still be an option to play Saturday in Game 4 versus Boston, per Terry Koshan of The Toronto Sun.

Lyubushkin left the team for the birth of his third child after Wednesday's loss to Boston. The 30-year-old rearguard is expected to return ahead of Game 4 versus Boston on Saturday. Lyubushkin had four assists, 64 hits and 30 blocked shots in 19 regular-season games with the Maple Leafs after he was dealt from Anaheim on Feb. 29. Look for Timothy Liljegren to remain in the lineup, should Lyubushkin be unavailable Saturday.
