Toronto Maple Leafs Set Lineup Ahead Of Game 4 vs. Lightning
The Toronto Maple Leafs are looking to get greedy in Game 4 of their first-round series against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Leafs played a great game in Game 3, thanks to a huge performance from goaltender Jack Campbell and the team will look to double dip both games in the sunshine state.
Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe confirmed to reporters after the morning skate, his team in Game 4 will look exactly like the team who dressed in Game 3. So long to the 'tougher' lineup as both Kyle Clifford and Wayne Simmonds will sit. So to will defenseman Timothy Liljegren. Justin Holl remains on the blue line after a very shaky debut to the series in Game 3, meanwhile veteran Jason Spezza will also dress. Spezza made his debut in Game 3 and looked sharp and ready to generate some more offense for the Leafs.
Sheldon Keefe confirms there will be no lineup changes as far as who is in and out of Game 4. Lines below here are the projected ones tonight.@BodogCA https://t.co/Tg1zF7Ouea

All three games of the series have been vastly different as it's been a back and forth affair. The Maple Leafs used two empty net goals by Ilya Mikheyev to seal the 5-2 victory in Game 3, and will look to take a huge lead against the back-to-back Stanley Cup champs on Sunday night. As ex-Maple Leaf and current Lightning defenseman Zach Bogosian put it, there's no friends on the other side and it's strictly business during the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
