The Toronto Maple Leafs had been struggling with their bottom-six and a lack of offense, however, Craig Berube's new line combination is taking the NHL by storm.
Throughout the early going of the NHL season, the Maple Leafs have struggled to get any production from their bottom-six forwards, although that appears to be changing finally.
Bobby McMann, Max Domi, and Nick Robertson are on a tear
On Sunday against the Buffalo Sabres, head coach Craig Berube decided to form a third line consisting of Nick Robertson, Max Domi, and Bobby McMann.
In the end, this line ended up working out quite nicely, especially as Domi finally got his very first goal of the NHL season.
During Wednesday night's game against the Dallas Stars, Berube kept this line together, and once again, Domi scored a huge goal.
In the second period, the struggling Nick Robertson was able to get himself back on the scoresheet, as he scored a bit of a flukey one.
However, you will always get goals however you can get them.
Finally, Bobby McMann scored the game-winner, giving every player on the line a goal.
Overall, this is great for the Maple Leafs as it has essentially solved their biggest problem throughout the season.
With the bottom-six producing, the Top Six guys can now ease off some of the pressure they have had to put on themselves.
Although the sample size isn't great, it is clear that Domi, Robertson, and McMann have very solid chemistry that could prove to be a huge driver for this team, moving forward.
Hopefully, Berube keeps these guys together and it continues to pay dividends.
