Craig Berube alters Maple Leafs lineup before Flames game

yardbarker.com

Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube has made significant lineup changes ahead of a crucial game against the Calgary Flames. After a 4-2 loss to the Ottawa Senators, Berube reverted to previous line combinations, including placing Mitch Marner back on the first line. The new lineup features Max Domi centering the third line, which has drawn criticism due to his inconsistent performance. David Kampf is rested, while William Nylander returns to the third line, raising questions about the team's strategy. Fans are concerned that these changes may not improve the team's chances, as the Maple Leafs seek to secure vital wins in their playoff push. The lineup adjustments reflect a return to familiar patterns that have not yielded success in the past.
