Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube needed to make some changes today against the Detroit Red Wings, and the lineup is looking pretty good.
If you are a Toronto Maple Leafs fan, then you will certainly be having a good time this afternoon as the team is in action at 2 PM against the Detroit Red Wings.
This is a rematch of Saturday's game, which was a bit of a disaster as the Leafs lost that one by a score of 6-3, and looked out of it after the first period.
With this game, head coach Craig Berube is doing some experimenting with his lineup, which leads us to the debut of Easton Cowan.

In fact, Cowan is going to be on the first line with Auston Matthews and Matthew Knies. Meanwhile, Mattias Maccelli is on the second line with William Nylander and John Tavares.
Going down the order now, Nick Robertson, Max Domi, and Bobby McMann make up a familiar third line.
Lastly, we have Dakota Joshua, Nicolas Roy, and Calle Jarnkrok on the fourth line. Sammy Blais is the healthy scratch on the forward side.
Knies - Matthews - Cowan
Maccelli - Tavares - Nylander

Joshua - Roy - Jarnkrok

Rielly - Carlo

Defensively, things are staying the same, with Philippe Myers as the odd man out right now.
Only time will tell whether or not this lineup brings success for the Maple Leafs. They are taking some risks here, but it should make for a great game.
If the Maple Leafs lose, then the discourse cycle might be a long and arduous one.
