Leafs may be making major change on blueline for Game 6

Following an abysmal Game 5, where Justin Holl was on the ice for 3 goals against, Sheldon Keefe was quick to defend him. However, it would seem that Keefe has realized the Leafs may need a change and Holl may need a night off.

Holl, who usually doesn't skate in optional skates when he is playing, took part in this morning's ahead of Game 6 while Timothy Liljegren who skates when he isn't playing, did not take part in this morning's option skate. Holl has struggled in 5 games being on the ice for 73% of Tampa's goals and the Leafs have been outscored 14-2 when he has been on the ice.

Liljegren hasn't played in 16 days but in his last game, he played just under 22 minutes and scored a goal. Liljegren is also much better at making the first pass and exiting the zone than Holl is, something the Leafs have struggled with in the last 3 games.
