Tlusty gets another shot with big club

Jiri Tlusty returned to the Maple Leafs yesterday hoping to recharge his game.

He was sent to the Marlies last month, but was recalled yesterday to fill in for the injured John Mitchell.

"I'm looking forward to my chance, and I hope I can play my best game," said Tlusty, who had two assists in five games with the Marlies. "I wasn't playing very well and my confidence went down. I have to forget that now and play better."

WESTERN JOURNEY: The Leafs embark on a three-game road swing through western Canada next week. It marks Toronto's first games against the Flames, Oilers and Canucks since the 2005-06 season.

"We haven't been out there in three seasons?" said Matt Stajan. "That's not good for the game."
