Sheldon Keefe on the Leafs’ blue line post-deadline additions: “We’ve been rolling the pairings… Each pair can take on any matchup or responsibility… We don’t have to chase things”

Brad Treliving has spoken about the defense as a “by committee” situation. What do you like about how the pieces could all come together here?

Keefe: We like how the pieces have fit in. We are without Lyubushkin tonight, but with him and Edmundson, it gives us far better depth.

Since their arrival, we have essentially just been rolling the three D pairings. We are not concerned about matchups or anything like that. We think each pair can take on any matchup or responsibility. We don’t have to go chasing things. We think that is helpful.
