"Easton Cowan and Calle Jarnkrok will come out of the lineup. Cowan has been a bright spot for the Maple Leafs' amid a difficult season and was placed alongside Matthew Knies and Auston Matthews during Saturday's loss to the Nashville Predators. Dennis Hildeby is the projected starter for the Maple Leafs, after Joseph Woll started Saturday's game."
"It's likely that Domi will be placed on the first line alongside Matthew Knies and Auston Matthews, in place of Cowan. Domi has recorded three goals and 12 points in 32 games this season. Knies-Matthews-Domi are the Maple Leafs' second-most commonly used forward combination at 5-on-5 this season, sporting a minus-1 goal differential and 44.7 percent share of the expected goals in 100 minutes at 5-on-5 via Natural Stat Trick."
"Maple Leafs' projected lineup vs. Stars Matthew Knies-Auston Matthews-Max Domi Matias Maccelli-John Tavares-William Nylander Nick Robertson-Nicolas Roy-Bobby McMann Steven Lorentz-Scott Laughton-Dakota Joshua Morgan Rielly-Philippe Myers Simon Benoit-Oliver Ekman-Larsson Dennis Hildeby (projected starter)"
""I don't have an issue with motivating the team, looking at things and correcting them and being positive at the same time, that's my job," Berube said following Saturday's loss. "So it's not difficult for me, but like I said, we've got a game tomorrow, so we've got to clean things up and go play a real good team.""
Easton Cowan and Calle Jarnkrok are removed from the lineup, with Cowan having skated alongside Matthew Knies and Auston Matthews in the previous game. Dennis Hildeby is projected to start in goal after Joseph Woll started Saturday. Max Domi is expected to replace Cowan on the first line with Knies and Matthews; Domi has three goals and 12 points in 32 games. The Knies-Matthews-Domi trio has a minus-1 goal differential and a 44.7 percent expected-goals share at 5-on-5 in 100 minutes. Matias Maccelli is likely to remain in a top-six role with John Tavares and William Nylander, while Dakota Joshua could slot onto the fourth line. Coach Berube emphasized motivating the team, correcting details, and staying positive ahead of the next game.
