Maple Leafs keep winning lines together during team photo day

After submitting a nearly picture-perfect performance in a 6-2 win over the Calgary Flames, the Toronto Maple Leafs are keeping their lines intact on team photo day.

Toronto held its annual team photo day at Scotiabank Arena on Tuesday morning, before getting ready for Wednesday’s game against the Colorado Avalanche.

Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube reunited Auston Matthews with Mitch Marner and Matthew Knies, while restoring the third line of Bobby McMann, Max Domi and Nick Robertson. Both units were excellent on Monday, as Matthews scored two power play goals, while the Knies-Matthews-Marner line outshot the Flames 6-1 with a 95 percent share of the expected goals via Natural Stat Trick. As for the third line, McMann, Domi and Robertson all scored, while outshooting the Flames 7-4 in just under nine minutes together.

“The urgency in the way we came out and played, shot pucks, and our temps were way up. We were right on top of them. There was no room for them, so that was the key start of the game for us,” Berube said following Monday’s victory. “Our power play was very good tonight, obviously, and our PK did a good job. Those are big parts of the game. The challenge, our video guys did a good job there. It was taking a little longer than I thought. They told me we were 110 percent sure.”

At the time of this filing, Toronto’s starting goaltender hasn’t been confirmed for Wednesday’s game. Anthony Stolarz could start, after Joseph Woll started Monday. Toronto is slated to play a back-to-back, squaring off against the New York Rangers on Thursday.
