Tonight, the Toronto Maple Leafs are playing the Montreal Canadiens in their fourth preseason game, and the lineup is one that could turn a few heads.
With the NHL preseason marching forward, the Toronto Maple Leafs are being given multiple chances to get their roster in order.
Each game allows the team to try out new forward combinations, while also figuring out which young stars should be cut, and which ones should be given more chances.
Tonight, the Leafs take on the Montreal Canadiens for the second time in a row, and as it turns out, this game will feature a mix of regulars and wannabe stars.

This is going to be an interesting game, and we will certainly learn a lot about some of these players after tonight.

Hopefully, the Leafs are able to match their 7-2 performance from the other night.
