Berube Tweaks Leafs’ Forward Group for Game 6; Matthews and Marner Remain Together
- The Toronto Maple Leafs will include Calle Jarnkrok and Pontus Holmberg in their lineup for Friday’s sixth game of the second-round series against the Florida Panthers, as they try to avoid elimination while trailing 3-2 in the series.
- The Leafs fell behind after losing three straight games, including a disastrous 6-1 defeat in Game 5 that put their season at risk and raised debate about splitting star forwards Matthews and Marner.
- Head coach Craig Berube will keep his top line intact featuring Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner, while making adjustments to the bottom-six forwards by reintroducing Jarnkrok and Holmberg to replace those who were sidelined in Game 5 due to the team's scoring difficulties.
- Berube expressed satisfaction with the performance following changes to his bottom-six forwards and highlighted the importance of everyone contributing, noting that this group has yet to score during the playoffs.
- The Leafs must generate offense and rely on their star players to perform better against a tight-checking Panthers team while facing a possible Game 7 at home on Sunday if they survive Friday’s elimination game.
