Tomorrow, the Toronto Maple Leafs will take on the Ottawa Senators in Game 1 of the first-round of the NHL Playoffs and fans have been wondering about the lineup.
Overall, the Toronto Maple Leafs are going into their first-round series against the Senators as heavy favorites thanks to their standing as the Atlantic Division champs.
However, the Senators got the better of the Leafs during the regular season which is going to make this series that much tighter than everyone wants it to be.
A big equation in all of this will be the Maple Leafs' lineup, which has the potential to completely suffocate the Senators and keep their best forwards at bay.

Today at practice, the Leafs had Jake McCabe and Oliver Ekman-Larsson back practicing with their defensive pairings.
Meanwhile, David Kampf was also back on the ice, albeit on a fifth line with Max Pacioretty and Ryan Reaves. As for the actual lineup, it seems like Craig Berube wants to keep things where they were before the playoffs.

The rest of the lineup is fairly stout as Pontus Holmberg will center the third line with Nick Robertson and Bobby McMann.
Meanwhile, Scott Laughton will be the center on a line with Calle Jarnkrok and Steven Lorentz. These are some solid lines that prove the Leafs are in a good spot.
We can't wait for the series to begin, and we hope to see the Leafs bring their best foot forward with lots on the line.
