Toronto Maple Leafs make interesting lineup chance ahead of Golden Knights game
On Wednesday night, the Toronto Maple Leafs will be taking on the Las Vegas Golden Knights in what should be a fantastic matchup.
There are numerous injuries on the team right now which is forcing the club to make various changes to the lineup.
Last week,
Alex Steeves was called up to the team on an emergency basis, but now, they actually do need him.
Toronto Maple Leafs lineup tinkering
At practice today, the team made some changes to the forward lines that are incredibly exciting.
For instance,
Fraser Minten was placed on the third line between Nick Robertson and
Pontus Holmberg. Meanwhile, Alex Steeves is now on the fourth line.
"McMann-Tavares-Marner
Knies-Domi-Nylander
Robertson-Minten-Holmberg
Dewar-Lorentz-Steeves
Rielly-Hakanpaa
McCabe-Tanev
Ekman-Larsson-Timmins
Stolarz
Woll"
It should also be noted that
John Tavares has been placed on the top line, with
Max Domi being demoted to the second line.
These are some interesting changes, and it will be interesting to see if they work out for the better. The team his on a run so Craig Berube won't want to change too much. But at the same time, the Leafs do have a ton of firepower that can make teams frustrated.
The Leafs enter their game against Vegas having won five of their last six matches, while also notching a record of 11-6-2.
