It has, on the whole, been a very inconsistent month so far for the Toronto Maple Leafs in the lead up to the NHL trade deadline next Monday. Keefe seemed short on answers after the game on Sunday: “It seems like each game has been a little bit different in terms of what the issues are.” He also mentioned the solutions the team needs to find in its depth lines and on the blue line, and as such, it was not surprising to see a shakeup in this morning’s line rushes.
Frederik Gauthier, who has been in and out of the scratches more than usual lately, looks like he will re-enter the lineup in between Pierre Engvall and Kasperi Kapanen on what appears to be the team’s third line for tonight.
