The lowly Nashville Predators are the next opponent for Craig Berube and the Leafs, and trying to make it four in a row, the team is needing all the momentum they can get
in the middle of a heated divisional race.So with that being said, it looks like the Maple Leafs bench boss is going to be sticking with what's keeping him successful, as he's eschewed changing his lineup ahead of the game.
The only change against Nashville is that
Joseph Woll will be between the pipes for Toronto, as he tries to build on his own personal three-game win streak. If it's not broken, why fix it?
Toronto Needs To Become The Predators Against Nashville
The team will need a complete effort from top to bottom, and it's the perfect opportunity for newcomer
Scott Laughton to finally get the monkey off his back and register his first point with the team.
It's a bit of a refresher to see how the team's been playing recently, and after having come off a brutal stretch where they lost five of seven but have since rebounded nicely.
It's been a tale of two Predators teams over the last 10 games. After losing two they rattled off four wins in a row, but have since dropped their last four games including a recent 4-1 loss to the similarly mediocre
Anaheim Ducks and have been outscored 7-3 with their lineup going quiet once again.
Toronto needs to take advantage and not let the foot off the gas when it comes to facing Nashville, and if they can keep that same chemistry on Saturday night, it's going to be easy pickings.
But the team has a bad habit of taking it easy on weaker teams. This lineup can't afford to do that, when every game matters from here on out.
