Ahead of a crucial game in Seattle, Coach Craig Berube addressed his strategic line changes for the Toronto Maple Leafs. The newly formed line of Nylander, Tavares, and Marner aims to leverage their combined offensive strengths, potentially creating matchup issues for their opponents. Berube expressed confidence in this setup, especially with Marner's return to the game and Nylander moving to left wing. The strategy also considers optimizing Morgan Rielly's role in power plays, showcasing Berube's focus on maximizing player contributions across the lineup.
"I talked to the guys about William Nylander going on the left wing and Mitch on the right with JT. Mitch has played some really good hockey with JT this year, so we'll see how it goes."
"There are two lines that are pretty dangerous, for sure."
"I think he can be the guy who can take pucks off the wall on his forehand, get to the middle ice, and make some plays coming out of our zone."
"It is just a matter of fitting everybody."
