Dermott to return to Maple Leafs’ lineup vs. Capitals on Tuesday

Maple Leafs defenceman Travis Dermott has finally been cleared to make his 2019-20 season debut, and says he sure feels like he's in shape, and his conditioning is on point.

Travis Dermott is all set to make his return to the Toronto Maple Leafs‘ lineup.

Leafs coach Mike Babcock told reporters on Monday that the 22-year-old defenceman will suit up for the team when it hosts the Washington Capitals on Tuesday.

Dermott has missed the start of the season as he recovered from shoulder surgery in May.

The second-round pick in the 2015 NHL Draft had 17 points in 64 games for the Leafs last season.
