BREAKING: Sheldon Keefe Makes Major Roster Decisions
After losing Game 5, Sheldon Keefe has put the lines into a blender. Fans should be happy with these updates.
Bunting and Liljegren in, ZAR and Holl out
It's hard to believe Sheldon Keefe would finally scratch Justin Holl, but it appears the day has come. Timothy Liljegren will take his place, presumably alongside Marc Giordano.
Equally, Michael Bunting will be back in the lineup after being scratched following his three-game suspension.
It is unknown what role he'll play, but it is unlikely he's thrown up on a top line for fear of referee pressure.
Having Bunting and Liljegren should help, breakout and forecheck wise. Going to be interesting to see how short Keefe keeps his bench, though.
Hopefully this lineup gives the Leafs the boost they need to make it past the first round!
