Last practice of the season and Keefe surprises people with lineup decisions; no NHL goalies taking part
After a dominant final home game of the season where the Leafs put up a touchdown on the Habs, Sheldon Keefe decided against changing his lines too much at the last practice of the season.
Calle Jarnkrok remained absent from practice as he continues to nurse a minor injury as Keefe put it yesterday. Matt Murray was also absent from practice as he recovers from his head injury and Ilya Samsonov did not practice with the club after tweaking something in the second period last night. Instead, Samsonov worked with goalie coach Curtis Sanford on another pad at the Leafs' practice facility. The Leafs had a handful of non-NHL goalies at practice to run drills with instead.
It also appears that Wayne Simmonds will remain in the lineup for Monday's game against Florida as he stayed paired with Noel Acciari and Alexander Kerfoot at practice. Simmonds, who had last played April 2nd, looked good in limited minutes last night against the Habs. He kept things simple, and was doing all the little things right in what was possibly his last home game as a Leaf.
