Tonight, the Toronto Maple Leafs are playing against the Montreal Canadiens, and Craig Berube has made some big decisions involving the lineup.
The Toronto Maple Leafs are on a three-game winning streak right now, and against the Montreal Canadiens, they are looking to make it four.
Additionally, the Leafs want some revenge on the Canadiens for what happened a few weekends ago, when the Leafs got blown out.
It is not going to be an easy game for the Leafs, who are without goaltender Joseph Woll, and will have Dennis Hildeby in net for today's game.
Toronto Maple Leafs lineup has been set
As for the lineup itself, Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube is making the right decision, as he is keeping his lineup exactly the same.
Matthew Knies, Auston Matthews, and Max Domi are on the first line, with Easton Cowan, John Tavares, and William Nylander taking the second line.
The third line consists of Dakota Joshua, Nicolas Roy, and Bobby McMann, while Steven Lorentz, Scott Laughton, and Nick Robertson take the third line.

On defense, the pairings are going to remain the same, and we imagine Troy Stecher is going to be near the top of the charts in terms of ice time.
The Maple Leafs are looking good right about now, and they are going to be looking to keep the momentum alive.
This game will be the headline of Hockey Night in Canada, as it takes place in Toronto and begins at 7 PM EST.
