Maple Leafs' Projected Game 3 Lineup Revealed Ahead of Panthers Matchup

Berube has revealed the Panthers upcoming lineup as the Leafs bring the series from Toronto to Florida, looking to sweep their Atlantic rivals on their own ice two years after eliminating the Leafs from the postseason.

The big burning question on the roster is the status of goaltender Anthony Stolarz and his availability for Game 3 after leaving Game 1 against Florida due to an injury suffered after colliding with Sam Bennett.

Joseph Woll, who relieved Stolarz in net, also backstopped Toronto in Game 2 to a 4-3 win.

Craig Berube confirmed on Thursday that Stolarz did not travel with the rest of the team to Florida.

So with that being said, what does the lineup look like knowing that Stolarz won't be in?

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

Rielly - Carlo
McCabe - Tanev
Benoit - OEL

Woll
Murray

While it was clear Joseph Woll was getting the start, Craig Berube decided not to make any big changes to the lineup after a successful two-game stint at home, just opting to swap the third and fourth lines again.

It's going to be another heated game but it might be a tad bit easier for the Maple Leafs considering that Florida might be down a player or two heading into Game 3.

Berube's stubbornness sometimes feels like a burden but with how successful things have been, why fix what's not broken?

Look to names like Max Domi and Max Pacioretty to have big games again especially given how confident they must feel heading into Friday's game.

One player who needs to pick things up in a big way however is Bobby McMann.

Still goalless in the postseason, he needs to pick things up quickly. He's hitting a bunch but the team needs some semblance of the 20-goal scorer he was in the regular season.

Hopefully he can kickstart things or it might be time for Berube to make a change and perhaps bring in Nick Robertson if he wants to add some scoring.

But Toronto so far has done well, with nine goals in the first two games. If they can keep getting the performances out of William Nylander, and the other stars keep the pace they're at; it's going to go in the Leafs' favor.
