Leafs send a clear message to the Bruins with game-day roster change

While the top 3 forward lines remained untouched, Ryan Reaves drew back in on the 3rd line during line rushes on Saturday morning, wearing regular bottom-six white.

Defense pairs remained the same as last game, and Joseph Woll appears to be in line for his 4th straight start.

Knies-Matthews-Nylander
Bertuzzi-Tavares-Marner
Robertson-Domi-Jarnkrok
Gregor-Kampf-Reaves
McMann

Rielly-Brodie
Lagesson-McCabe
Benoit-Timmins
Lajoie

Woll (starter)
Jones

The primary goal should be to win the game, yes, but the Leafs should also aim to play a very physical game and put a bit of a target on Marchand's back. No, they don't need to intentionally hurt him, but they should definitely finish every single check on him just a little bit harder in an attempt to make his night a miserable one. If the opportunity presents itself, I'd love to see someone feed Marchand a couple of shots during a scrum, but otherwise, making it a long night for Marchand while also banking the 2 points should be the goal here.
