Maple Leafs Sheldon Keefe makes last-minute lineup change
The Maple Leafs are looking for a spark tonight, and besides trusting the net back to Martin Jones, Sheldon Keefe has made another lineup change.
Nick Robertson will be scratched tonight. He has reportedly been placed on the trade block due to his inconsistency, and while there are good flashes in his game, he doesn't show them nearly often enough to hold a roster spot.
Pontus Holmberg will come into the lineup as another change.
