In breaking news, we learned that the Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe made a major change in his line up for tonight's game against the Winnipeg Jets.

Keefe Announces Major Line Up Change For Tonight

A new update reported that Ryan Reaves will be in the line up tonight.

He takes Calle Jarnkrok's spot, who's dealing with an injury.

Per David Alter:

"Sheldon Keefe says Calle Jarnkrok has a broken knuckle and will be out «week-to-week».

Ryan Reaves confirmed to come into the lineup in his place. "

Reaves hasn't played a game since he got injured on December 14th. He's been struggling this season and Keefe decided to wait until bringing him back in the line up. Leafs fans surely hope it paid and that Reaves will come back at 100%.

"Leafs optional skate at Canada Life Centre. Players on the ice this morning:

Holmberg
Knies
Robertson
Bertuzzi
Reaves

Giordano
Benoit
Lagesson
Timmins

Samsonov
Jones"
