I don't want to talk about the Sharks. Okay, wait, this is funny:
Who is this guy again? Let's ask Matthews. No idea if he plays, but Logon Couture is not set to play tonight.

Kaapo Kahkonen - surely if they want to trade this guy, they're starting him in Toronto, no?

Us
The Leafs are going with exactly the same lineup that beat the Sharks. Nick Robertson sits for the third game in a row, and Pontus Holmberg gets another shot. Defence pairs unchanged. Both players have averaged right about 10 minutes per game when they've played, so neither is really the third-line winger. The Leafs real third line is a mix of Järnkrok and some of Domi and the fourth liners.
