"The Toronto Maple Leafs laid an egg against the Seattle Kraken Saturday night. From not even coming close to responding to Mason Marchment running over Anthony Stolarz, to allowing a heartbreaking overtime winner and losing a point the team needs; it was just a massive mess. And head coach Craig Berube is responding by changing up how the lineup looks."
"Berube stuck with what he knows: There are partnerships that work. It would be baffling to even start to think of separating Auston Matthews and Matthew Knies on the top line, but for who should be their other winger? Rookie Easton Cowan has gone from the top line all the way to being a healthy scratch. After showing up during some moments and earning his first NHL point, Cowan has largely been a passenger on that line and not someone to really be able to string along and play at the level of those two. So, in comes Max Domi."
The Maple Leafs suffered a poor loss to the Seattle Kraken, including a hit by Mason Marchment on Anthony Stolarz and an overtime defeat that cost a valuable point. In response, Craig Berube altered the forward groupings at Monday practice, moving Max Domi onto the top line with Auston Matthews and Matthew Knies and benching rookie Easton Cowan. Matias Maccelli remains paired with John Tavares and William Nylander, while Nicolas Roy moves up from fourth-line duties. The roster adjustments aim to reignite offense and reconfigure winger roles ahead of the New Jersey Devils matchup.
