Major update regarding Joel Edmundson and T.J. Brodie
We have a major update regarding the Leafs' defensemen Joel Edmundson and T.J. Brodie to report.
The Toronto Maple Leafs were on the ice this morning, for their last practice session of the regular season. The team is set to face the Florida Panthers tomorrow night, in what could give fans a taste of playoff hockey.
As we reported earlier, with Max Domi and Bobby McMann out of the lineup, Sheldon Keefe had to make important lineup decisions: Mitch Marner was back on the first line, and Tavares was joined on the second line by Nylander and Knies.
"Max Domi is not practising today after a day off on Sunday.
Domi was injured last Thursday against the Devils but played on Saturday.
Also absent: Bobby McMann.
Leafs' top six:
Bertuzzi � Matthews � Marner
Knies � Tavares � Nylander"
At the blue line, Jake McCabe was back in action and paired with Benoit; Joel Edmundson was placed on the third pair with Liljegren, taking T.J. Brodie's place.
