The Auston Matthews-less Maple Leafs are keeping their lineup intact as they look to build on a gratifying shutout victory over the Boston Bruins in tonight’s Hall-of-Fame game against the 6-5-1 Detroit Red Wings (7:00 p.m. EST, TSN4).
Matthew Knies — Max Domi — Mitch Marner
Max Pacioretty — John Tavares — William Nylander
Nicholas Robertson — Pontus Holmberg — Bobby McMann
Steven Lorentz — David Kampf — Ryan Reaves
Morgan Rielly — Oliver Ekman-Larsson
Jake McCabe — Chris Tanev
Simon Benoit — Conor Timmins
Anthony Stolarz
Joseph Woll
Scratched: Philippe Myers, Matt Benning
Injured: Auston Matthews (upper body), Calle Jarnkrok (lower body), Connor Dewar (upper body), Jani Hakanpaa (lower body), Dakota Mermis (upper body)
So it’s settled. Gotta trade Matthews.
