It should also be noted that John Tavares has been placed on the top line, with Max Domi being demoted to the second line.
These are some interesting changes, and it will be interesting to see if they work out for the better. The team his on a run so Craig Berube won't want to change too much. But at the same time, the Leafs do have a ton of firepower that can make teams frustrated.
The Leafs enter their game against Vegas having won five of their last six matches, while also notching a record of 11-6-2.
