"After a nice little break the Toronto Maple Leafs are back on the ice as they'll host the Vancouver Canucks for the first game of a three game series. The Leafs will have to be on their toes as the Canucks are coming off two brutal losses to the Montreal Canadiens. We saw head coach Sheldon Keefe play with his lineup throughout the week off and today he confirmed how the lineup will look. Forward Nic Petan will jump into the lineup for the first time this season and play on the fourth line with Travis Boyd and Jason Spezza. Keefe said he'll continue some rotations on the fourth line as he looks for the perfect combination. "I think it is working. We are providing more opportunity to more players. We think that's healthy for the depth of our organization, to let players know there's lots of reasons to continue to work."After missing some time at practice this week Alexander Kerfoot will keep his spot on the third line between Jimmy Vesey and Ilya Mikheyev. Here's a look at tonight's full lineup which includes Frederik Andersen starting between the pipes:Hyman-Matthews-Marner
