Toronto Maple Leafs vs Montreal Canadiens Game 65 Preview: Lineups, Goaltenders, & Best Bets
•
Game 65 of the season sees the Toronto Maple Leafs take on the Montreal Canadiens, and there are plenty of storylines heading into tonight’s matchup. Zack Phillips breaks down the expected lineup, including the possible NHL debut for Toronto Marlies leading scorer Beau Grewal, and what it means for the Leafs’ push to evaluate young talent down the stretch.
With Craig Berube behind the bench and the Leafs falling out of the playoff picture, the question becomes whether the organization should start prioritizing development and roster evaluation. Should players like Easton Cowan, Jacob Quillan, and Nic Robertson get bigger opportunities? And should stars like Auston Matthews, William Nylander, Matthew Knies, and John Tavares potentially receive rest as the team evaluates the future?
Zack also dives into tonight’s projected forward lines, defensive pairings featuring Morgan Rielly, Brandon Carlo, and Jake McCabe, the goaltending matchup between Joseph Woll and Jakub Dobes, and closes things out with the Best Bets presented by bet365 for Leafs vs Canadiens.
