Keefe Confirms Lineup Tonight Against Injury Riddled Vegas.
"The Toronto Maple Leafs welcome to the Vegas Golden Knights to town tonight at Scotiabank Arena. It's a tale of two teams not off to the starts they were hoping for because of different reasons. The Golden Knights are off to a 4-4-0 start hanging on in the Pacific Division all while half their team is missing. Max Pacioretty, Mark Stone, Alex Tuch, Nolan Patrick, Mattias Janmark, Zach Whitecloud and now William Karlsson are all sidelined with injuries leaving Vegas with a bit of a weaker top and bottom six than they were hoping for. The Maple Leafs however have mostly been healthy but just haven't been able to find their groove but have showed signs of life recently and have won two games in a row. Saturday's win came with Justin Holl as a healthy scratch for the first time since 2019 and it looks like he'll stay in the press box as head coach Sheldon Keefe will once again roll with the young duo of Rasmus Sandin and Timothy Liljegren on the third pairing. Up front, William Nylander will stick to the first line with Auston Matthews and Michael Bunting while Mitch Marner will stick with John Tavares and Alex Kerfoot on the second line. Jack Campbell gets the start between the pipes for the Leafs and he'll go up against Robin Lehner for Vegas. Check out the full lineup below:
Bunting - Matthews - Nylander
Kerfoot - Tavares - Marner
Engavll - Kampf - Kase
Ritchie - Spezza - Simmonds
Rielly - Dermott
Muzzin - Brodie
Sandin - Liljegren
