Maple Leafs Settle on Game 1 Lineup Against the Florida Panthers

As Game 1 kicks off a busy week for the Panthers and Leafs, the Leafs held what is likely to be their only full practice on Sunday to fine-tune things before puck drop.

Unlike their former bench boss Sheldon Keefe, current head coach Craig Berube was hesitant to make any major changes to his lineup after the Leafs lost Game 4 and Game 5, despite many believing he should have.

At practice on Sunday, Berube continued with the status quo as the Leafs appear set to roll out the same lineup for Game 1 against Florida on Monday.

Despite the absence of Mitch Marner, who welcomed his first child with wife Stephanie on Sunday, Berube kept his lines intact, meaning that Nicholas Robertson and David Kampf will continue to watch from the press box on Monday night.

Running the same lineup that helped close out the Senators, it is expected that the club will also turn to Anthony Stolarz in net for the seventh consecutive game, hoping that the extra few days off will let him regroup and get back to the level of play he was at to close out the regular season and start of their first round series.

The Leafs are hoping that this year's second round series against the Panthers goes much differently than their previous one that saw the Panthers dispose of the Leafs in five games.
