Maple leafs official line up for Game 3 vs the Bruins
The Toronto Maple Leafs confirmed their official line up for game three against the Boston Bruins, and a verdict has been reached for William Nylander.
After a big 3-2 win to tie the series at 1, the Maple Leafs announced their official line up for game three in Toronto, and in the same time, confirmed that Nylander won't take part in the game.
Here's the line up, according to David Alter:
"Leafs lines during warmup vs BOS GAME 3 Apr. 24/24
Bertuzzi-Matthews-Domi
Knies-Tavares-Marner
Robertson-Holmberg-Jarnkrok
Dewar-Kampf-Reaves
Rielly-Lyubushkin
Benoit-McCabe
Edmundson-Liljegren
Samsonov (starter)
Woll"
Auston Matthews, who wasn't at the Leafs' morning skate, is back in his usual spot, centering Domi and Bertuzzi, while Marner, who'll be under the spotlight as he tries to score his first point of the playoffs, remained on the second line with Tavares and Knies.
It'll be a tough challenge for Ilya Samsonov, but if he can make the big saves, like he did on Monday night, the Leafs could be in a great position to win. As it was expected, Jeremy Swayman will be back in front of the Bruins' net.
Boston will definitely come in strong to get a good start in the Scotiabank Arena. Notably, they added the former Leafs James Van Riemsdyk to the lineup.
If you missed it, here's out report from earlier today about him:
