Toronto Maple Leafs coach Sheldon Keefe will be injecting fresh legs into his lineup for Game 4.
Defenceman Travis Dermott and depth centre Adam Brooks will both draw in for the Leafs on Tuesday night as the club seeks to extend its 2-1 first-round playoff series lead over the Montreal Canadiens at Bell Centre.
Toronto’s Jack Campbell will get his fourth start in goal, and forward Nick Foligno (day to day) will miss a second straight game with an undisclosed injury.
“Today he’s feeling good, so easy decision to get him back in,” Keefe said of Campbell, who did not play both halves of a back-to-back all season.
Brooks, 25, impressed his coach as mid-season taxi-squad callup, scoring four goals in 11 games. Tuesday will be the Winnipeg native’s Stanley Cup Playoffs debut.
Dermott, 24, was supplanted by rookie Rasmus Sandin on the Leafs’ third defence pairing for the first three games of this series. He has two goals and three assists in 19 career playoff games.
Sandin and centre Riley Nash took warm-ups but will be scratched for the Leafs.
On the Montreal side, coach Dominique Ducharme has tapped Eric Staal to draw in for the ailing Artturi Lehkonen. Carey Price will get the start.
Puck drop is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET in Montreal. You can catch the game on Sportsnet or SN Now.
