Here is our preview for this evening's game:

[Game 3 Preview: in Florida without Magic MatthewIt’s been a few (too many) days since Game 2\. The bitter taste in my mouth and anxiety in my brain has been lingering for too long. Now it’s time for a win, baby. Note the start time. It’s a 6:30pm start for the Leafs in Florida.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/34/01/3401a938-f468-4c02-a227-9bc4cc09bad4/content/images/size/w256h256/format/png/2023/04/pension-plan-min.svg)PPP LeafsHardev![](https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1634221558053-3a617b5201d9?crop=entropy&cs=tinysrgb&fit=max&fm=jpg&ixid=MnwxMTc3M3wwfDF8c2VhcmNofDF8fGZsb3JpZGElMjBtYWdpY3xlbnwwfHx8fDE2ODM0NzQ0NDg&ixlib=rb-4.0.3&q=80&w=2000)](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/game-3-preview-in-florida-without-magic-matthew-toronto-maple-leafs/)

Some further reading:

[Think fast, Leafs, you’re almost out of timeI don’t know what to think about the Leafs, this series or anything about the playoffs right now. I’m not very optimistic, but I’ve never been more irritated by outlandish performative pessimism.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/34/01/3401a938-f468-4c02-a227-9bc4cc09bad4/content/images/size/w256h256/format/png/2023/04/pension-plan-min.svg)PPP LeafsCathy Squires![](https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1618426101168-b4b984e577bb?crop=entropy&cs=tinysrgb&fit=max&fm=jpg&ixid=MnwxMTc3M3wwfDF8c2VhcmNofDE2fHxzdW4lMjBjbG91ZHN8ZW58MHx8fHwxNjgzMzc3NTcy&ixlib=rb-4.0.3&q=80&w=2000)](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/think-fast-leafs-youre-almost-out-of-time/)

In the afternoon game, the New Jersey Devils lead the Carolina Hurricanes 5-2 after two periods. They have been out-scored 2-11 so far in the series, so anything is possible.

The Leafs lineup in the preview isn't expected to change. Just in case it does due to unforeseen circumstances, the Leafs official lineup will be posted here closer to puck drop.

UPDATE: turns out there are some line changes! The Leafs are going 11/7\. Here are the lines:

Bunting-Matthews-Marner  
Järnkrok-Tavares-Nylander  
Kerfoot-O'Reilly-Acciari  
Kämpf-Lafferty

Rielly-Schenn  
McCabe-Brodie  
Gustafsson-Holl  
Giordano

Samsonov  
Woll

Really interesting lines. Let's talk about it in the comments!
