The Toronto Maple Leafs hit the ice tonight for a huge matchup against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Not only is it a possible preview of a first round playoff matchup, but the Leafs need to win the game with the Florida Panthers just one point behind them for third place in the Atlantic. Both head coach Sheldon Keefe and Morgan Rielly himself confirmed that Rielly will be back in the lineup tonight. He'll lineup with Cody Ceci on the team's third defensive pairing. Auston Matthews will try and spark up some chemistry with William Nylander on his wing while Mitch Marner lines up with Kasperi Kapanen and John Tavares. Frederik Andersen gets the start between the pipes and he'll go up against Andrei Vasilevskiy of the Lightning. Here's a look at tonight's full projected roster:Hyman-Matthews-Nylander Kapanen-Tavares-Marner Engvall-Kerfoot-Malgin Clifford-Gauthier-SpezzaRielly-Ceci Dermott-Holl Sandin-Barrie
