Officially, Patrice Bergeron will probably play tonight. Per the lineup the team emailed out to us, he’s in. REJOICE.
Brad Marchand - Patrice Bergeron - David Pastrnak
Jake DeBrusk - David Krejci - Rick Nash
Danton Heinen - Riley Nash - David Backes
Tim Schaller - Sean Kuraly - Noel Acciari
On defense:
Zdeno Chara - Charlie McAvoy
Torey Krug - Adam McQuaid
Matt Grzelcyk - Kevan Miller
You know that Tuukka Rask will be between the pipes.
For Toronto, they’ll be getting reinforcements with the return of Nazem Kadri, as his three-game suspension is over.
Zach Hyman - Auston Matthews - Connor Brown
Patrick Marleau - Nazem Kadri - Mitch Marner
Andreas Johnsson - Tomas Plekanec - William Nylander
James van Riemsdyk - Tyler Bozak - Kasperi Kapanen
As you can see above, the Leafs are shaking things up a bit. William Nylander goes to Line 3, JVR to Line 4...weird.
The Leafs’ defense should look the same as Game 4:
Morgan Rielly - Ron Hainsey
Jake Gardiener - Nikita Zaitsev
Travis Dermott - Roman Polak
Frederik Andersen will be in net.
See ya at 8!
