The Leafs are likely going to continue playing with 11 forwards and 7 defensemen. Erik Gustafson ran through practice as the 7th D. Keefe also reunited
Morgan Rielly and
T.J. Brodie on the top pair and Mark Giordano and
Timothy Liljegren on the 3rd pair. Gio and Liljegren have experienced a lot of success playing together in the past.
Jake McCabe saw himself paired up with
Justin Holl (we feel for you, Jake), and
Luke Schenn, who arrived from Vancouver after the birth of his child the other day will sit this one out with
Conor Timmins as he gets back up to speed in his first skate back with the team.
