Maple Leafs Reveal Projected Lineup Ahead of Most Anticipated Game 5 of the Battle of Ontario

As Tuesday counts down to game time, the Maple Leafs are looking to get themselves prepared as best as possible for a tough game against a hungry and motivated Senators team who is going to try and make life miserable for them.

There are some concerns about who should line up for Craig Berube once the puck drops, and there could be big changes in the lineup, with names like Max Pacioretty and Max Domi potentially watching from the sidelines as David Kampf or Nicholas Robertson make their way back.

But as the team took the ice for today's optional practice, the team lined up with the same group that they've ran with for most of the series.

Craig Berube seems pretty happy with how the team has played, and while they didn't get the success they anticipated in Game 4, there's no real reason to panic just yet.

The Leafs held Ottawa to four shots in two periods, and they were able to dictate the pace for most of the night, butt ended up on the unlucky side of things, especially with the OT winner going through about six bodies before sneaking past Anthony Stolarz.

That means that Max Pacioretty is going to be back in the lineup, as Craig Berube wants to keep the size and strength of the veteran as opposed to the potential goal-scoring prowess of a Nick Robertson or a defensive specialist like David Kampf.

Anthony Stolarz is also going to be the starter once again, and while there were concerns about him being a bit overworked, it's clear that he's the playoff starter and Craig Berube would rather trust him than Joseph Woll; who was dealing with not only an illness but a lack of game prep over the last couple of weeks.

They're also going to need Mitch Marner and Auston Matthews to start scoring more often too, and the best way to get things started is by taking out their provincial rivals, and do so in dominating fashion. That'll be not only securing their spot in round two, but give them a huge wave of confidence heading into it.

But we'll just have to see how things turn out for Craig Berube and the Maple Leafs on Tuesday night. They aren't changing much, but the only thing they hope for that changes is a different result from Saturday night.
