Maple Leafs Sheldon Keefe makes last-minute 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.
