Tonight is a big one for Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube as he is looking to get his team a win in Game 7 against the Florida Panthers.
There is a lot on the line for the Toronto Maple Leafs tonight as they are looking to get into the Eastern Conference Finals tonight.
The Florida Panthers know how to win in Game 7 situations especially under Paul Maurice. Furthermore, they have Stanley Cup pedigree which the Leafs simply do not.
This is going to be an exceptional game and Craig Berube needs to do everything possible to get his guys prepared for the matchup.
Toronto Maple Leafs Game 7 lineup
A big part of this preparation involves setting the lineup which could throw the Florida Panthers off guard a little bit.
However, as it turns out, Berube is going back to basics in a way. The head coach has decided to set the same lineup as he did in Game 6.
This is a lineup that ultimately shut the Panthers out in Game 6 so it makes sense that Berube would want to continue down this road.

Players like Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner are going to need to be at their best, otherwise, the team is going home empty handed.
What is good for the Leafs is they are the highest seed left in the playoffs which means they would have home ice all the way through the Stanley Cup Finals.
Only time will tell whether or not they stick around the postseason long enough to even enjoy that.
