Sheldon Keefe reveals why the Leafs are scratching Timothy Liljegren
The Toronto Maple Leafs are making a major change in their lineup tonight on both forward and defense ahead of game four against the Boston Bruins.
Not only is William Nylander returning to the lineup, at the consequence of Connor Dewar:It looks like TJ Brodie will replace Timothy Liljegren on the Leafs defence in Game 4.
Connor Dewar looks like the odd man out up front, assuming William Nylander returns to the lineup.
Nick Robertson keeps his spot from the looks of it.

But the Toronto Maple Leafs will also be making a massive switch on defense, scratching Timothy Liljegren for TJ Brodie, who will make his playoff debut for this season.
When asked why he made this decision, Sheldon Keefe revealed that Timothy Liljegren is not completely healthy, and that his pairing with Joel Edmundson has not been strong.
Keefe on leaning towards Brodie over Liljegren tonight: «We've liked our defensive pairs, but not that pair (Liljegren and Joel Edmundson) as much. That's part of it and the other is Lilly isn't 100 per cent healthy."
The Toronto Maple Leafs need all hands on deck tonight to tie their series with the Boston Bruins. It is sure to be an interesting one.
