Sheldon Keefe reveals why he is slotting in Brodie for Liljegren
The Toronto Maple Leafs are set for a crucial game 4 tonight versus the Boston Bruins as they trail 2-1 in the series. Sheldon Keefe has announced some lineup changes with Timothy Liljegren skipping his turn and TJ Brodie will be inserted into the lineup.
Sheldon Keefe has made changes to the lineup for a big game coming up tonight versus the Boston Bruins and many lineup changes are set to occur. William Nylander is expected to be inserted in to the lineup for game 4 after missing the first three game of the series with migraines.
He has also decided to make switches to their defensive core, with Liljegren taking the night off and Brodie stepping in to fill the role. Keefe provided the reason he is sitting out in today's media presser:
Keefe on leaning towards Brodie over Liljegren tonight: «We've liked our defensive pairs, but not that pair (Liljegren and Joel Edmundson) as much. That's part of it and the other is Lilly isn't 100 per cent healthy."
Perhaps TJ Brodie will provide some experience tonight as he has played in numerous playoff campaigns with both the Leafs and the Flames.
Huge game tonight for the boys in Blue as they look to crawl back in this intense series.
