Toronto Maple Leafs Unveil Their Bold Lineup Against the New York Rangers
The Toronto Maple Leafs are a team that is trying to make a statement against the New York Rangers tonight, and their lineup certainly shows where the team's head is.
If you are a Toronto Maple Leafs fan, you are probably very interested in the day-to-day functions of the team and the various decisions that have to be made.
Before every game, head coach Craig Berube has to make the toughest decision, which involves his lineup. This is where we see who gets to play and who is left on the outside looking in.
Throughout the season, the biggest change Berube has had to make was putting Easton Cowan on the first line after an injury to Steven Lorentz.
With Steven Lorentz healthy enough to play today, Berube had to make another difficult decision as he decided to make Lorentz a healthy scratch.
Toronto Maple Leafs keep the lineup the same
As for the actual lineup, Berube is keeping things the same as they were on Monday against the Detroit Red Wings and on Tuesday against the Nashville Predators.
In Berube's mind, this is simply the right thing to do. The team saw great offensive success in their last game, and this will give guys like Cowan a chance to continue to show their talent.
Knies - Matthews - Cowan
Maccelli - Tavares - Nylander

Anthony Stolarz will be the goaltender tonight, and he will be looking to bounce back after losing two games in a row.
Those losses weren't entirely his fault, although mentally, as a goaltender, you certainly want to move on and get yourself back in the win column.
Only time will tell whether or not the Maple Leafs are going to be able to have a huge game from their best players.
