With the Toronto Maple Leafs looking to defeat the New Jersey Devils tonight, head coach Craig Berube has made some difficult lineup decisions.
Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube has a difficult job to do, especially when you consider how the team lost to the Seattle Kraken.
With a controversy involving Anthony Stolarz making waves, Berube has been forced to squash things, and restore order in the locker room.
Thankfully, he is an experienced head coach who knows how to do these things. Unfortunately, he also has to make some difficult lineup decisions.
Craig Berube sets his lineup
With the lines being announced earlier today, it was made clear that there would be three healthy scratches in tonight's lineup.
In fact, these scratches are quite familiar to most fans. Easton Cowan, Sammy Blais, and Philippe Myers will watch from the press box.
It is unfortunate, especially with Cowan becoming such a fan favorite over the past few games. However, it is something that had to be done.
Knies - Matthews - Domi
Maccelli - Tavares - Nylander
Joshua - Roy - McMann
Robertson - Lorentz - Jarnkrok
McCabe - Tanev
Rielly - Carlo

Tonight, we will get to see how well Max Domi plays alongside Auston Matthews and Matthew Knies on the first line.
We will also get to see Nick Robertson on the fourth line, with Steven Lorentz at center. Nicolas Roy back on the third line could be interesting as well.
Whatever the case may be, the Maple Leafs could use a win against the New Jersey Devils right about now.
