"It may well be that GM Brian Burke has already traded for that top-six scoring forward.

His name is Matthew Lombardi. Maybe you've see him — that flash of speed on the second line.

Lombardi scored twice on Monday night, leading the Maple Leafs to a 3-0 victory over the New York Islanders as Jonas Gustavsson picked up his third shutout in the month of January.

Cast as the guy — or the contract — the Maple Leafs had to take so they could get defenceman Cody Franson from Nashville, Lombardi recovered from his concussion sooner than most expected."
