Mike Babcock Finally Changes Up His Lines
"The Toronto Maple Leafs were back on the practice ice after this morning's roster move. With just six wins in their last 18 games, many have been wanting to see Mike Babcock shake up his lines and that is exactly what he did this morning.
Babcock finally separated Leo Komarov and Nazem Kadri and put together combination that seems to optimize their speed. Here is how the Leafs lined up at today's morning skate:
Zach Hyman � Auston Matthews � William Nylander
Patrick Marleau � Nazem Kadri � Mitch Marner
James van Riemsdyk � Tyler Bozak � Connor Brown
Leo Komarov � Dominic Moore � Kasperi Kapanen
However, it seems that Kadri and Komarov on separate lines will only be temporary, specifically only on the road over the next two games. Mike Babcock says Leo Komarov will go back to Nazem Kadri's side once the Leafs return home. Says he made the switch to get a little jolt offensively while not having control of the matchups in Chicago or Dallas.
