Toronto Maple Leafs: Sheldon Keefe Creating Competition for Key Role

Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe is attempting to create some internal competition which at first glance appears for one of the final spots in the bottom six forward position.

Most recently, Keefe inserted 24-year old Joey Anderson onto the fourth line for the Toronto Maple Leafs game Wednesday night against the New York Rangers.

Anderson replaced Zach Aston-Reese in the line-up who was healthy scratched for the first time since the end of October.

Anderson started the game off well playing with Pontus Holmberg and Alex Kerfoot by setting up his Swedish centerman for the opening goal just two and a half minutes into the game, however would finish the night with just 4:57 of ice-time.
