Maple Leafs Lock In Starting Goalies For Final Two Games; Projected Lineups vs. Sabres

With Toronto headed into their final road game of the season just up the highway in Buffalo, they will look to clinch the Atlantic Division for the first time in 25 years and give themselves a huge leg up heading into the playoffs.

It's still a question over who is going to start when it comes to Game One, and while we don't know exactly who gets the call then, we do know who is going to get the start against Buffalo.

The Maple Leafs are going to keep the hot hand of Anthony Stolarz rolling, and start him against Buffalo and are keeping the same lineup they iced against the Hurricanes on Sunday.

It's not the worst grouping to have considering the team is firmly locked into a playoff berth with home-ice advantage and should give them the opportunity to shine against a weaker Buffalo team and give some fringe pieces a chance a chance to make a statement and earn a playoff spot.

Look to guys like Nick Robertson, Pontus Holmberg, Simon Benoit, and Dakota Mermis to go out there and have a hard-fought game and try to earn favor with Craig Berube with only two more games to go.

It's also interesting that we see Mitch Marner and the other stars lacing it up for the team, as it could have a lasting impact on the playoffs if any of them get injured, so while it's imperative that Toronto fields a winning team, they better hope Buffalo doesn't want to spoil their QEW rivals.

Speaking of Marner, a point tonight against the Sabres would be number 100 for the superstar forward and while it's certainly something that Marner needs to get once in his career (especially as a member of the Leafs), he's gotta make sure to not go so hard at times and save his energy for the playoffs.

Buffalo isn't good, and with the news that Owen Power is suffering a serious injury that will keep him out for some time, it's been a tough go for the team. Sitting seventh in the Atlantic, they are actually going to be ahead of the Bruins but still not in any type of spot to compete.

They are also without Jordan Greenway, Josh Norris, and Tyson Kozak; it's an injury filled situation for both teams, and it's expected that Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen will get the start for the Sabres.

Toronto will have a bit of an easy go against the Sabres, though don't always count out the team that gives them headaches every now and again.

The Leafs and Sabres face off at Keybank Center with the puck drop scheduled for 7PM ET.
