A day off on Sunday led to a full practice for the Maple Leafs on Monday where they revealed their lineup for Tuesday's Game 5, looking to eliminate the Senators in the first round.

The Leafs got good news on Monday as they returned to practice, with John Tavares joining the team as a full participant after taking a dangerous, high hit in overtime on Saturday from Senators defenseman Artem Zub.
He took his normal place on the second line with Pontus Holmberg and William Nylander as Craig Berube reverted to the lines he started Game 4 with - minus Auston Matthews, who took the day for rest.
David Kampf was a placeholder for the Leafs captain, while one notable omission, Nicholas Robertson, remained as an extra and appears set to remain in the press box.
On the back end, it was status quo for Berube, while Joseph Woll was absent from practice, leaving projected Game 5 starter Anthony Stolarz and rookie Artur Akhtyamov as the only two goalies on the ice. Woll's absence was due to the 26-year-old netminder being "under the weather".
While some fans were hoping for slight changes, the Leafs may have played their most dominant game of the series on Saturday night despite losing in overtime and will look to close out the series on Tuesday night in front of a hopefully raucous crowd at Scotiabank Arena.
