Sheldon Keefe is showing that he is a proponent of load management. He is taking it to a new level tonight.

Keefe Resting Three Players

With the Leafs and Lightning officially facing off in the first round, both teams need to be at their best.

The Lightning have gone to three straight cup finals, while the Leafs have been unstoppable this season.

Sheldon Keefe is making sure that his players are ready, by resting them. Tonight, he is resting three players.

Mitch Marner, Jake McCabe, and Mark Giordano will watch from the press box tonight, and get some well deserved rest.

Hopefully this load management pays off!
