Not an exciting lineup but there are a few stories there. There is a reason imo why kapanen is between the probable 3rd line wingers this season.
Muter91
That is certainly a lineup of hockey players.
Loudrick
The BONE zone vs the choke zone tonight 
t_l_quinner
Suddenly less excited for this game
RyanWalts
Now THAT is a preseason lineup.
I have to think that there’s some ulterior motives here regarding Kapanen vs. Dvorak for the 3C spot. With a good game tonight he could really push management’s hands, would love to see him pull it off.
Barron’s also being put in a position where he really needs to impress if he wants to have any chance of being more than an injury replacement for the NHL lineup.

This is going to be a good test. The Leafs are playing most of their projected starters. ~~Xhekaj~~ Pez vs Reaves tonight?
manwithoutcountry
Leafs lineup tonight is nearly their opening night roster, so it’ll be even sweeter when we beat them with this nearly AHL lineup lineup
JMPesce
If we beat the Leafs with this lineup, they need to pack it in 😂
astonedgecko
Leafs icing everyone but AM34 and Knies… maybe they are panicking
Dexteris
Super fun defense… weird as fuck offense lol
Edit : just want to point out, the X bros are still not playing together. It’s on purpose after 3 games… anybody has an idea why?
3oysters
I’ll pretty much be watching for Hutson and that second line
NorthernBuffalo
Kinda dope that our GM is willing to be a backup goalie for us
nhabster
Lol nice, not sure about sitting Mailloux though, but the pre-season is still a long way
Quick599
I swear I saw a post on Instagram that was removed that had a different Lineup. lol
potato_soup303
Please tell me the Leafs aren’t playing Matthews, Marner & Nylander.
alldasmoke__
This is the night that 3C spot is getting decided lol
BlankoNinyo
Away teams almost always ice terrible lineups in preseason games, Toronto will likely have most of their regular season team iced for the home fans tonight.
zeMVK
Just means more shame onto their team if we beat them.
But I like this lineup, let the kids play. Test the field a bit with not yet guaranteed roster players (mostly)
excelqc
Love that line up. All those defensemen have uncertain « chairs » and are fighting for one, it should be really interesting to watch.
autumnalmanac
I have tickets. Was hoping to see a better lineup, oh well, hutson time
Pitiful_Stock_4329
poor folks that bought tickets for this one lmao
Kiiiriin
Yep, definitely not tuning in for this one but im still looking forward to some Hutson highlights magic.
popejohnlarue
If Hutson is in, so am I. 🫡
TripleWDot
God damn that’s a young defensive top 6. Would’ve like to see a Vet back there but excited to see Hutson and Reinbacher!
General_Ry
Interesting lineup, wanted to see Laine & Dach again but Kapanen & Hutson will do.
Leafs are icing most of their roster with the exception of Matthews. Habs are in for a tough game but I believe in them to deliver us a good game.
Eazy3006
Kapanen with Roy is gonna be fun.
QcAntz
Considering they are doing cuts after the game it’s normal to see a lineup full of possible cuts.
jeuneloup69
Dvorak la graine
Husskies
I hope Jakub gets to play the whole game. Still a bold choice to not have one of our two goalies for that match. That will mean only two full games for Monty and one for CP30.
jokerstatue
You guys think there’s a message to Xhekaj being on the third pairing of this weak team or he’s simply in the line-up to keep Reeves honest and protect this young roster?
KissMyAce2020
this isn’t Habs vs Leafs
Its Dvorak vs Kapanen lol
Bohmer
We are serving the Leafs what Phily and NJ served us earlier this week i see.
Future-Trip
That second line, I’m kinda excited for that.
Roy and Armia had great chemistry last year (It’s almost like anybody that plays with Roy wakes up)
OGChamplain
Ok, young Dmen, whatcha got?
SourForward
Interesting battle between Dvo, Kapanen, and Beck tonight. Probably says a lot that Beck is with Kidney and ABB.
RoosterVking
This is good, they want to see whose going to force them to make a decision and make the team.
bloodrider1914
Well, with these goalies I’m pretty sure it’s going to be a loss. Should be fun still to see Hutson and Kapanen cook
rayshinsan
Lol does this mean if the Leafs lose tonight they can start pressing the panic button? Let’s hope so but don’t fire anyone your agony requires a full season of disaster.
bigcig
Heinie put up a hatty in this game in my HLM25 career but I had him on line 3. now we wait.
BigBoy990
This feels to me like Barron is being tested tonight. They saw plenty of Mailloux and he did rather well so the pressure is on for a starting spot at RHD.
backwardzhatz
If we win with this roster hoooo boy
xc2215x
Would be hilarious if we beat the Leafs. The Sens have embarrassed them so far.
