Game Notes

TB
•Vasilevskiy will start for the Lightning. In the last 2 seasons Vasilevskiy is 14-0 with a .966 Sv% after a playoff loss
•The Lightning tinkered a little with their middle-6 forwards at practice on Tuesday but no major changes are expected in the line-up

TOR
•Campbell will start for the Leafs
•Clifford will of course miss the game after being suspended for his hit early in game 1
•However it seems like Clifford may have been sitting anyway as Bunting was back alongside Matthews and Marner at practice on Tuesday. Confirmation of his playing status won't come until the morning skate though
Injuries

•Rasmus Sandin - Knee - Injured Reserve •Petr Mrazek - Groin - Injured Reserve •Michael Bunting - Lower Body - Probable

But the season before that he was 0-3 after a playoff loss. 

WE'RE GOIN' TO A LEAFS A-GO-GO

[Kaberle15]

I am expecting at least the same kind of intensity by the Leafs tonight.

Go Leafs Go!!!

[bustaheims]

Lightning are going to come out strong tonight. Leafs need to at least match their effort.

I know we're not getting another shutout, but I want another shutout.

Please specify which team is getting said shutout before you get monkeypawed

[Bill_Berg_is_sad]

They better show clips of Matthews throwing the Emperor and his lightning hands into a reactor shaft all game long.

Go Leafs Go!

[RedLeaf]

I had to start drinking 2 hours before puck drop for game 1 just to calm my nerves enough to watch. Tonight isn’t going to be any different. I can’t do this for every Leaf playoff game. At some point I have to watch them stone-sober. Just not tonight . Lol

Please specify which team is getting said shutout before you get monkeypawed

The blue and white team, obviously.

If Bunting is healthy what a huge upgrade on Clifford.

Michael Bunting will make his playoff debut tonight, Keefe confirms. https://t.co/kC2CVo5dtV
