Maple Leafs lineup tonight: Toronto's projected lineup for game against Minnesota Wild | Nov 3, 2024

After a road game against the St. Louis Blues last night, the Toronto Maple Leafs will look to wrap up the second leg of a back-to-back when they face off against the Minnesota Wild. When the team takes the ice, they will be without several players.

In addition to defenseman Dakota Mermis and center Calle Jarnkrok both being on the long-term injured reserve list, they will be without defenseman Jani Hakanpaa and center Connor Dewar.

Both players are currently recovering from injuries and will be on assignment with the Leafs' AHL affiliates as they work their way back to 100%.

Given that, the Maple Leafs' lines tonight are projected to be as follows:

Forwards:

1. LW Matthew Knies - C Auston Matthews - RW Mitch Marner
2. LW Max Pacioretty - C John Tavares - RW William Nylander
3. LW Bobby McMann - C Max Domi - RW Pontus Holmberg
4. LW Steven Lorentz - C David Kampf - RW Ryan Reaves

Defense:

1. Morgan Rielly - Oliver Ekman-Larsson
2. Jake McCabe - Chris Tanev
3. Simon Benoit - Conor Timmins

Goalies:

• Anthony Stolarz
• Joseph Woll

Powerplay:

1. Matthew Knies, Mitch Marner, Max Pacioretty, Morgan Rielly, Auston Matthews
2. John Tavares, Max Domi, Bobby McMann, Oliver Ekman-Larsson, William Nylander

Penalty Kill:

1. David Kampf, Steven Lorentz, Jake McCabe, Chris Tanev
