"Following the Toronto Maple Leafs 2-0 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning, it was announced that Bobby McMann has been suspended for one game. The Toronto Maple Leafs Winger has been suspended for one game for a two-handed slash to the head of Lightning forward Oliver Bjorkstrand in retaliation for a cross-check McMann took in a scrum. He will miss the game against the San Jose Sharks on Wednesday night."
"Berube wasn't pleased with the call from the officials, saying in the post-game, "I'll take a look at it. I don't know, I mean, I had a tough time with that, to be honest with you." With McMann's absence, Berube will have to make some changes to the forward group. Before the Lightning game, he made a lineup decision that many, including myself, were very critical of, inserting Jarnkrok into the lineup and making Nick Robertson a healthy scratch."
"Berube will now have the option to play Robertson and Jarnkrok in Wednesday night's game against the Sharks. We could also potentially see the reinsertion of Mattias Maccelli, who has been a healthy scratch for the last five games. Robertson does have a reputation for scoring every time he is reinserted into the lineup after being a scratch, but it's tough that they need to readjust the bottom six."
Bobby McMann received a one-game suspension for a two-handed slash to the head of Oliver Bjorkstrand in retaliation for a cross-check McMann took in a scrum. He received a five-minute match penalty and will miss the game against the San Jose Sharks on Wednesday. Dakota Joshua fought during the same scrum. McMann has played 29 games this season with eight goals and six assists for 14 points and has contributed to the third line's recent success. Head coach Berube expressed displeasure with the officiating. The lineup will require adjustments, with options including Nick Robertson, Jarnkrok, or reinserting Mattias Maccelli.
