Maple Leafs Confirm Starting Lineup for Game 2 Against the Panthers

As the Maple Leafs look to add to their 1-0 series lead over the Panthers on Wednesday, a lot of questions are being asked ahead of the game, especially regarding Anthony Stolarz.

The goaltender might not be ready to go for Game 2 or possibly longer, and it puts a damper on Toronto's playoff hopes, but if Joseph Woll can just hold things down long enough, things should be on the right track.

But it's the guys up front who need to do the most damage, and the stars are going to need to shine bright if the Maple Leafs want any chance of getting past Florida with a two game advantage.

So what will Craig Berube's lineup look like heading into Game 2?

Seems like much of the same, but with a bit of a twist:

Knies - Matthews - Marner
Pacioretty - Tavares - Nylander
Lorentz - Laughton - Jarnkrok
McMann - Domi- Holmberg

Rielly - Carlo
McCabe - Tanev
Benoit - OEL

Woll
Murray
Hildeby

The bench boss decided to not change anything regarding his lineup after they've found a solid amount of success so far, but did end up flipping the third and fourth lines but kept the same players.

One thing the lineup needs to make sure they do besides being productive, is stay disciplined.

Toronto is also going to see Matt Murray back up Joseph Woll, as Anthony Stolarz is still dealing with the aftermath of the Sam Bennett elbow.

Florida is going to try and get into the heads of the Maple Leafs, and they need every bit of energy to not retaliate and make sure that only the Panthers get punished (though that's a long shot it feels like).

Though, Berube shouldn't hesitate to pull a player out if they continue to struggle or take some detrimental penalties. There's only six games total to play, so it's imperative the team doesn't get too stubborn if there's issues.

Giving McMann and Domi a bit of a breather in terms of pressure might be able to unlock their offense and in turn move them into the third line spot again.

What everyone needs to do though, from top to bottom is produce. Five goals in game one was a fantastic start, but they can't let up now.

Florida is going to be targeting Toronto's players, and right now the best course of action is to target the back of the net instead.
