Leafs Insider Gives Idea of Leafs Projected Lineup vs Panthers

If I were to tell you that the Florida Panthers and Toronto Maple Leafs would face each other in the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs, chances are you would have called me crazy.

However, after the Florida Panthers pulled off the biggest upset in NHL history by eliminating the Bruins, and the Toronto Maple Leafs exorcised their demons by advancing to the second round for the first time in 19 years, that is indeed the case.

Recently, Leafs Insider Mark Masters gave insights on what the Leafs lineup could look like for game one of the Leafs vs. Panthers. According to Masters, Justin Holl is still a healthy scratch but skated alongside Erik Gustaffsson. Additionally, it appears that the newest Leaf, Matthew Knies, will remain on the top line with Austin Matthews and William Nylander.

Keefe has also mixed up scoring on all four lines to pose a challenge for the Florida Panthers in terms of matching up.
