Toronto Maple Leafs Unveil Their Lines for Game 1 Against the Florida Panthers
With the Toronto Maple Leafs taking on the Florida Panthers in Game 1 of the second round on Monday night, Craig Berube is working on his line.
If there is one thing for sure, it is that the series between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Florida Panthers is going to be a fiery one.
The Panthers come into this as the favorites, while the Maple Leafs are a team that could shock a lot of people with a win. However, in order to do that, they must field a solid lineup.
Today, the Leafs held a practice in Toronto and unsurprisingly, head coach Craig Berube put his lineup together.

Unfortunately, Mitch Marner could not participate in the practice. Fortunately, it was because he became a father, which is certainly a good excuse.
As a result, Nicholas Robertson played on the top line with Matthew Knies and Auston Matthews during the practice. However, Robertson will likely be a scratch in Game 1.
As for the rest of the lines, they are exactly the same as they were in Game 6 against the Ottawa Senators. Max Pacioretty will play with John Tavares and William Nylander.
Furthermore, we will get to see Max Domi with Bobby McMann and Pontus Holmberg. Lastly, Scott Laughton, Calle Jarnkrok, and Steven Lorentz will all play on the fourth line.

Anthony Stolarz is the project starter in Game 1 against the Florida Panthers which should not be a surprise whatsoever.
Hopefully, the Leafs can have a strong start to this series and put the Florida Panthers on their heels early on. That is the only way they can pull off an upset.
