The Toronto Maple Leafs have been experimenting with new lines over the past few weeks and may have just found the best combination.
Throughout Sheldon Keefe’s tenure as the head coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs, he hasn’t done anything too unique. For the most part, John Tavares and/or Auston Matthews will play with either Mitch Marner and/or William Nylander with a hard-working player on the other wing.
It hasn’t be a complicated system because it’s clearly worked. The combination of Marner and Matthews helped Matthews win his first Hart Trophy and second Maurice “Rocket” Richard Trophy last year.
