"The Maple Leafs and Hurricanes have split the season series, with the Maple Leafs winning 5-1 in December and the Hurricanes winning 5-4 in November."
"Cowan has shown some spark to the Maple Leafs top six at times this season, but as the Maple Leafs were in dire need of wins, Berube opted to keep him out of the lineup."
"Nylander and Knies will look to get their first true shot alongside one another, as Knies has spent a good portion of the season on the third line or up with Auston Matthews."
"The bottom six and the defence core will look to remain the same, and there is no telling who the starting goalie will be in Friday's contest."
The Toronto Maple Leafs are preparing to host the Carolina Hurricanes for their final matchup of the season, having split previous games. Coach Craig Berube has experimented with new forward lines, placing John Tavares with Easton Cowan and Matias Maccelli. Cowan aims to gain momentum in the final games. William Nylander will join Max Domi and Matthew Knies on the second line. The defensive group remains unchanged, and the starting goalie for the upcoming game is yet to be determined.
