Maple Leafs Reveal Who Will Slot in for Matthew Knies for Game Three
The Maple Leafs will have a tough challenge ahead of them if they want to eliminate the Panthers. They're already behind 0-2, and the next two games will be in Florida.
In addition to this, they'll have to play without Matthew Knies, who suffered a concussion during the last game, thanks to Sam Bennett.
The Leafs had a practice this morning, and the new lines were revealed.
Maple Leafs Reveal Who Will Slot in for Matthew Knies for Game Three
If some people were hoping to see Wayne Simmonds in a playoff game, they will have to wait, as it looks like Zach Aston-Reese will take Knies' spot.
Lines at Leafs practice :
Bunting - Matthews - Marner
Jarnkrok - Tavares - Nylander
Kerfoot - O'Reilly - Acciari
Aston-Reese - Kampf - Lafferty
Simmonds
Rielly - Schenn
McCabe - Brodie
Giordano - Liljegren
Gustafsson - Holl
Timmins
Samsonov
Woll
Murray
Simmonds would have been a great asset for the Leafs, but Keefe decided to put Aston-Reese in the lineup.
If they lose the third game in the series, it wouldn't be surprising to see more changes in the lines.
