GDT - Senators @ Leafs - Battle of Ontario, Game 2 - Apr 22 - 7:30pm ET

Game two LET'S GOOOOOOOOO!

Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Anthony Stolarz is projected to start Tuesday’s Game 2 against the Ottawa Senators. Stolarz was granted a rest day Monday and did not attend practice, but participated in Tuesday’s optional morning skate.

Toronto is expected to run back the same lines from Game 1. Berube made an in-game adjustment, placing Pontus Holmberg with John Tavares and William Nylander, while Max Domi joined Bobby McMann and Nick Robertson, and it appears that the Maple Leafs will be sticking with these combinations entering Game 2. McMann-Domi-Robertson were Toronto’s second-most commonly-used unit during the regular season. source

Projected lineup:

Matthew Knies -- Auston Matthews -- Mitch Marner
\ Pontus Holmberg -- John Tavares -- William Nylander
\ Bobby McMann -- Max Domi -- Nicholas Robertson
\ Steven Lorentz -- Scott Laughton -- Calle Jarnkrok

Morgan Rielly -- Brandon Carlo
\ Jake McCabe -- Chris Tanev
\ Simon Benoit -- Oliver Ekman-Larsson

Anthony Stolarz
\ Joseph Woll

Scratched: Dakota Mermis, Philippe Myers, Max Pacioretty, David Kampf, Ryan Reaves, Artur Akhtyamov

Injured: Jani Hakanpaa (lower body)

Status report: The Senators lines reflected those used during their morning skate. ... The Maple Leafs will dress the same 18 skaters they used in their 6-2 win in Game 1. ... The Holmberg-Domi switch was foreshadowed after coach Craig Berube moved Holmberg up to the second line in place of Domi midway through Game 1.
