Sheldon Keefe inserts Timothy Liljegren back into lineup for TJ Brodie
The Toronto Maple Leafs face elimination on Tuesday against the Boston Bruins, and now, they've made another huge reshuffle to their lineup.
After a change to the lineup ahead of game four, the Maple Leafs face a must-win matchup on the road in Boston, and it appears Sheldon Keefe has made yet another change according to the Athletic's Jonas Siegel.
Rielly � Lyubushkin
Benoit � McCabe
Edmundson � Liljegren
In game four with TJ Brodie in the lineup, the Maple Leafs surrendered three goals on 22 shots, but without offense coming from their blue line, they struggled to just one goal of their own, falling 3-1 to find themselves 3-1 down in this crucial series. Unfortunately for Brodie, he graded out as the Maple Leafs worst player in a must-win game that they fell short in, but with Liljegren coming back into the lineup, it provides a major boost.
Ahead of game four, it was reported that Liljegren was not at 100% as the reason for the move, but now after another poor performance, he's back in the lineup.
All the odds are stacked against Toronto heading into this one, and while inserting Liljegren is the right move, they've still got to make many changes as a team on the ice, so we will wait and see whether or not they can save their season.
