Maple Leafs Shuffle Lines Ahead of Game 2
4 years agoToronto Maple Leafs forward Mitch Marner will play alongside Auston Matthews in Game 2 after largely being held in check during Game 1 while playing with John Tavares. Zach Hyman is expected to be the third forward with Marner and Matthews. William Nylander will move to a line with Tavares and Ilya Mikheyev. The move comes after Toronto was held off of the scoresheet in Game 1, and comes with the hope that the Marner and Matthews combo will be able to bring back some of their strong play from the regular season (53.49 5-on-5 Corsi for percentage).
