Finally it looks as though Jason Robertson is staying in the lineup over Connor Dewar for at least one more game.
Keefe on keeping Robertson in over Dewar:
"We think he can provide us with offence. Offence is hard to come by ... he has done a good job in the series. He has found ways to create chances in low minutes. We think he can make a difference that way"
Here is the full lineup that is expected to take the ice for the Toronto Maple Leafs tonight.
