Nick Robertson and David Kämpf, who got into Game 5, will be scratched.

It will be the same lineup that the Leafs had used since the third game of the first round.

Staying together

The lines at the morning skate had a familiar feel. Berube said he thought about breaking up his two biggest stars — Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner — but had them together on a line with Matthew Knies.

“These guys have been a combo for a long time and they’ve had a lot of success,” said Berube. “So I trust them. I believe in them.”

Marner has one goal this series, while and Matthews has yet to score in the second round.

“Of course you want to score, you want to do that,” said Matthews. “Getting opportunities, it’s on me to capitalize on them. I’m going to continue to shoot, continue to compete out there and work and do the little things to the best of my ability. And when those opportunities come, I’m just going to keep shooting and keep believing that the next one’s going in.

Dangerous Leafs

Brad Marchand, the noted Leaf killer now with the Panthers, didn’t think Game 5 was as lopsided as the 6-1 score indicated, saying his team benefited from bounces the Leafs didn’t get. He didn’t expect any momentum to carry over. He did expect the Leafs to be better.

“If anything, it’s going to make them hungrier to have a bounce back game and to prove a lot of people wrong, which is a very dangerous combination,” said Marchand. “We have to bring our best game.”
