This time around the Winnipeg Jets will be in town and will only be playing their second game of the year. For the occasion the Leafs will be testing out one of the much talked about strategies this offseason. Head coach Sheldon Keefe has confirmed that the team will go with 11 forwards and 7 defensemen after losing Nick Robertson to injury. Mikko Lehtonen is the extra defenseman who will dress tonight and it will be his NHL debut after getting used to life in the NHL over the last week. Jason Spezza and Wayne Simmonds will keep their spots on the fourth line while Alexander Barabanov remains on the taxi squad.
