Last minute lineup changes for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
The Toronto Maple Leafs have been forced to make some last minute adjustments on Saturday night.
The Toronto Maple Leafs have been forced to make some last minute adjustments to their lineup.
Although the Maple Leafs got some good news earlier today when forward Tyler Bertuzzi showed up for an optional skate after missing time due to illness, it would appear as though Bertuzzi has not fully recovered from what ails him. Bertuzzi is notably absent from warmups this evening, an indication that he will not play tonight despite skating earlier in the day.
The Maple Leafs are of course already dealing with a significant absence with star forward Mitch Marner remaining out of the lineup with what is believed to be a high ankle sprain, as well as the absence of forward Calle Jarnkrok who suffered another hand injury this month.
As a result the Maple Leafs have been forced to shake up their forward group several times, and tonight will be no exception.
Here is how the Maple Leafs lineup looks in warmups:

Knies-Matthews-Domi
