Sheldon Keefe Makes Major Lineup Changes at the Maple Leafs First Practice Back From Roadtrip
The Toronto Maple Leafs are red hot these days. They've won their last seven games and they'll look to keep that momentum going for their next game, Tuesday against the Vegas Golden Knights.
Sheldon Keefe Adjusts Lineup For Tomorrow's Game With Giordano and Woll Back In Action
The team held its first practice since coming back from their four-game roadtrip. A few players were back on the ice for the Maple Leafs: Mark Giordano, Joseph Woll and Calle Jarnkrok.
Jarkrok is getting closer to a return. He's been away for over a month now but Keefe revealed that he should get back at full practice at some point next week.
He also shared that Giordano will play tomorrow only if Timothy Liljegren can't.
The coach made several other changes to the defensive unit: Simon Benoit was moved up to the second pair and T.J. Brodie was on the top pair.
The forward unit remained intact.
Knies-Matthews-Marner
Bertuzzi-Domi-Nylander
McMann-Tavares-Robertson
Holmberg-Kampf-Reaves
Extra: Gregor
Brodie-McCabe
Rielly-Benoit
Giordano-Lagesson
Absent: Liljegren
Samsonov, Woll"
The other interesting situation to follow is Joseph Woll's. He replaced Martin Jones at practice and acted as Samsonov's backup. Keefe didn't confirm when he would play, even as backup. Unless he's activated, Martin Jones and Samsonov will be the duo in action tomorrow.
More to come.
