Sheldon Keefe on the role of fighting in the modern game: “It still has its place… At the same time, I have a brother who had over 200 fights, so I certainly see the safety side of it”

Per Sheldon Keefe:

ud83cudfd2 Ilya Lyubushkin makes Leafs debut 2.0 tonight alongside Morgan Rielly

ud83cudfd2 Timothy Liljegren is a game-time decision

ud83cudfd2 Calle Jarnkrok will return to the lineup @TSN_Edge

What did you like about how Morgan Rielly and Ilya Lyubushkin paired together back in the 2021-22 season?

Keefe: They just seemed to complement each other well.

Lyubushkin himself — at that time — brought a lot to our team in terms of physicality and competitiveness, making it hard to enter our zone and hard to be around our net.
