Last night's Toronto Maple Leafs win over the Ottawa Senators was a thing of beauty and today at practice, the team decided to make some lineup adjustments.
With the Toronto Maple Leafs winning 6-2 against the Ottawa Senators on Sunday night, you wouldn't think that the team would be rushing to make some lineup changes.
However, that is exactly what the team did on Monday as they took to the ice for practice. While the vibes were good at practice, head coach Craig Berube still wanted to try new things.
This was especially true as it pertains to his second and third lines which have been somewhat of a revolving door so far this season.
Pontus Holmberg and Max Domi swap places
Case in point, Max Domi was moved from the second line back down to the third line where he will now play center with Nick Robertson and Bobby McMann.
This is a line that did great work throughout the regular season and now, they have an opportunity to gel together all over again.
As for Pontus Holmberg, he was moved up to the second line as the left-winger next to William Nylander and John Tavares.

Game 2 is going to be very interesting and the fans are definitely going to be in for a treat. If they win, then that means a 2-0 series lead going to Ottawa.
Of course, that doesn't guarantee anything. The Maple Leafs are a team that know this all too well at this point. However, they have a really amazing opportunity in front of them.
Hopefully, Game 2 is something to build off of and the good times just keep on rolling.
