After a tough Game 1, and a suspension to Michael Bunting, Sheldon Keefe has made some adjustments.
New Lines Revealed
The lines that were rolled in Game 1 just didn't work, and Sheldon Keefe is rightfully adapting.
The Leafs will be reuniting Auston Matthews with Calle Jarnkrok, as the two have had success together in their small sample together.
Knies to Make Playoff Debut
With Michael Bunting watching from the press box for the next three games, Matthew Knies will make his playoff debut tonight.
He will join Ryan O'Reilly and Noel Acciari on a line. The successful fourth line of Zach Aston-Reese, David Kampf, and Sam Lafferty will stay together.
Projected Lineup
Here are the lines the Leafs will be rolling with:
Jarnkrok— Matthews — Marner
Kerfoot — Tavares — Nylander
Knies — O'Reilly — Acciari
Aston-Reese — Kampf — Lafferty
McCabe — Brodie
Giordano — Holl
Rielly — Schenn
Samsonov (starter)
