VTORONTO - Toronto Maple Leafs coach Randy Carlyle met the media Monday afternoon with a piece of paper recording the laundry list of injuries the team is currently saddled with. Jacob Bruun Larsen Jersey . The good news is forward David Clarkson, who suffered a fractured orbital bone under his right eye, should be ready for Game 1 of the regular season Oct 8. It does not need surgery so we expect him to practice with our hockey club and be a possibility for Friday, said Carlyle. Clarkson, who was injured in a fight with Sabres tough guy Cody McCormick during the third period of the Leafs 6-4 win over Buffalo on Friday, says he has no intention of shying away from fighting when needed. Im not going to change my game because of something like that, it was the first time its happened to me, he said. I was hitting that reset button getting ready and Im still getting ready. Im getting ready to start, but those are those fluky things. Im not going to change the way I play because of it, its just one of those things that happen. Clarkson is in the process of figuring out appropriate facial protection, likely a visor or full cage, for when he returns to the ice. The news isnt as good for David Booth. The winger suffered a fractured foot after blocking a shot during the first period of Sundays 3-2 shootout win over the Sabres. Despite playing another six minutes in the second period, Booth is expected to miss at least four weeks. Cody Fransons situation is still uncertain at the moment. The Leafs defenceman was pushed from behind into the end boards by Torrey Mitchell during the third period of Sundays game and needed help off the ice while putting no weight on his left leg. Carlyle says Franson suffered a bruised left knee, but that he still needs further assessment. Franson was scheduled to meet with doctors Monday. I dont know if its above his knee or below his knee or right into the knee, said Carlyle. His knee went underneath him and he banged into the boards. Were still trying to wait for the swelling to come down. Well have to wait till they get a proper assessment. They feel theres no broken bones in there. Franson didnt travel with the team to Detroit, where the Leafs play the Red Wings in pre-season action Monday night. The club also announced that camp invite Henrik Tallinder has been let go from his professional tryout. The defenceman, who suffered a dislocated shoulder in Buffalo, requested a release from his contract so he could seek alternative treatment. Carlyle said the team would be responsible for the defencemans rehabilitation regardless of where it takes place. Toronto also cut its camp roster by five additional players. Forwards Petri Kontiola and Sam Carrick and defenceman Petter Granberg have been assigned to the American Hockey Leagues Toronto Marlies. Goaltender Antoine Bibeau has also been assigned to the AHL club, meaning the Leafs will once again start the season with Jonathan Bernier and James Reimer. Toronto also placed forward Troy Bodie on waivers with the hopes of assigning him to the Marlies should he clear. Toronto currently has 29 players on its roster, which needs to be reduced to 23 by 5 p.m. eastern time on Oct. 7. Booth will likely start the season on injured reserve and could be joined by Franson depending on the severity of his injury.

HOUSTON -- Tyler Skaggss Angels debut could not have gone much better. The left-hander threw eight strong innings and Josh Hamilton hit a two-run home run as the Los Angeles Angels beat the Houston Astros 5-1 on Saturday night. Skaggs (1-0) allowed one run - none earned - on four hits with five strikeouts. Skaggs was acquired in the off-season from Arizona in a trade that sent outfielder Mark Trumbo to the Diamondbacks. "I was excited for my first game with the Angels," Skaggs said. "I have pitched in the big leagues before. I took that mindset that I have been here before. The team needs to get in the win column again. A lot of different things to stay relaxed out there." Skaggs became one of just 13 pitchers in Angels history to go at least eight innings while allowing no earned runs in first start for the team and the first since Shawn Broskie on May 1, 1995, at Toronto. Skaggs, who posted a 2-3 record with 5.12 ERA with the Diamondbacks last year, said he threw a two-seam fastball Saturday night - a pitch he had not thrown in spring training. "The thing is that I havent thrown the two-seamer at all, and today, I broke it out," Skaggs said. "I threw it 90 per cent of the time. Thats why you saw all those 90-91 instead of 93-94. They kept swinging at it, so why not continue to throw it and get outs early in the count?" Skaggs said the changeup and curveball were also good and everything was clicking. Angels manager Mike Scioscia said all of Skaggs pitches were working but it started with his ability to command the fastball. "He had a great two-seamer going and once he was able to get that into spots everything else opened up for him." Scioscia said. "He threw some terrific change-ups, some really good curveballs. Theyve got some right-handed hitters that are really strong hitters and youve got to make some pitches to them. He did and got through it well." Hamilton followed David Freeses run-scoring single with his second homer in as many days, extending the lead to 4-1 in the fifth off Dallas Keuchel. Hamilton had three hits and is noow hitting . Lukasz Piszczek Jersey. 352 against the Astros with 16 home runs and 41 RBI. "I dont think its necessarily the team," Hamilton said. "I love playing at this park. Before it was a rivalry thing - Texas and Houston. Maybe that helped a little bit. I cant pinpoint one thing." Keuchel (0-1) allowed four runs on eight hits with five strikeouts over five innings. "If youre not on your A-game every pitch, thats what happens," Keuchel said. "I think that kind of took the wind out of our sails in the fifth." Kole Calhoun extended the lead to 5-1 on a run-scoring single in the eighth off Chad Qualls. Houston, which dropped its third straight, opened a 1-0 lead as Jose Altuve scored on an error by third baseman John McDonald in the first, but that lead quickly vanished as Howie Kendrick knotted the score at one with a run-scoring double in the second. Houston manager Bo Porter said the Astros need to get things going offensively after being outscored 16-2 in the first two games of the series. "He really had his breaking ball going, but at the same time, I think we helped him a little bit by expanding our strike zone," Porter said of Skaggs. "He took advantage of it. Offensively, definitely need to get things going and score some runs." Notes: Houston outfielder Dexter Fowler missed his second straight game Saturday after spending Friday night at Methodist Hospital due to a stomach virus. He was released from the hospital Saturday night and could play Sunday, Porter said postgame. . Astros catcher Jason Castro was out of the lineup for the second consecutive game Saturday with a bruised right foot. . Lance Berkman and Roy Oswalt signed one-day contracts before the game and officially retired as Astros. . The Astros outrighted right-handed pitcher Chia-Jen Lo off the 40-man roster. He cleared waivers Saturday and will remain with Triple A Oklahoma City. .
