"We've finally made it.... Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs begins tonight for the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Leafs will host the Montreal Canadiens for the first time in about 40 years thanks to the realignment and Scotia North Division. As announced earlier this week, Jack Campbell will get the start between the pipes and he'll go up against Carey Price who's returning from injury and playing for the first time since April 19. Head coach Sheldon Keefe also confirmed that the Leafs will be getting somebody back tonight. Defenseman Zach Bogosian returns from injury and will suit up on the third pairing beside Rasmus Sandin. Bogosian hasn't played since April 20 and is expected to add a nice physical presence. Travis Dermott and Martin Marincin are your defensive scratches for tonight while they'll be joined by forwards Adam Brooks, Alex Galchenyuk and Pierre Engvall in the press box. Check out Keefe's lineup below which features the Leafs' debut of Riley Nash. Hyman-Matthews-Marner Foligno-Tavares-Nylander Mikheyev-Nash-Kerfoot Thornton-Spezza-Simmonds Rielly-Brodie Muzzin-Holl Sandin-Bogosian Campbell "
