Maple Leafs' Simon Benoit: Set for preseason action

Benoit (back) is expected to play in Saturday's preseason matchup against Montreal, according to Nick Barden of The Hockey News.

Benoit is poised to make his Toronto preseason debut after being limited to start training camp because of back spasms. He registered 10 points, 128 blocked shots and 216 hits in 78 games for Anaheim last season.
