Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube was forced into a tough decision today regarding his lineup against the Calgary Flames.
Tonight, the Toronto Maple Leafs are trying to make it two in a row against the Calgary Flames, who are mostly out of the playoff picture.
The Leafs are a team that can certainly make a push at the end of the season, and there is no denying that the fans would love to see it happen.
Having said that, the Maple Leafs need to field the right lineup if they want any chance of actually winning the game.
Head coach Craig Berube is being tasked with some difficult choices here, but based on everything we have seen, it appears as though he has it under control.

Simply put, the head coach is going with the same lineup we saw on Saturday night against the Vancouver Canucks, except this time around, Simon Benoit replaces Marshall Rifai.
On the first line, we will see Auston Matthews, Max Domi, and Bobby McMann. The second line consists of John Tavares, William Nylander, and Matias Maccelli.
The third line is Nicolas Roy, Nick Robertson, and Matthew Knies. From there, Steven Lorentz, Scott Laughton, and Calle Jarnkrok make up the fourth line.

This is a very solid lineup for the Maple Leafs, and we are excited to see how they all fare against the Flames.
It's a big game, and if there was ever a time for the Leafs to start winning, it would have to be right now.
