### Toronto Maple Leafs @ Ottawa Senators  
07:00 PM at Canadian Tire Centre  
Watch on: TSN4, TSN5

### 

With the second game in Ottawa, the roles should be reversed. The Leafs lineup will be light and the Senators will have more of their actual team on the ice. 

The Leafs team will be made up of this roster, which includes only one extra defender:

Easton Cowan, Nikita Grebenkin, Matt Knies and Jacob Quillan all appear for their second game.

### Ottawa

The Sens are not giving the Leafs a serving of Linus Ullmark, rather they're going with Mads Søgaard and noted Leafs-killer Anton Forsberg. That appears to be the competition for backup for the Sens this year.

They are icing a team with two NHL lines.

The famous Ridley Greig is here, as is the now famous Cole Reinhardt from game one. 

### The Game

The point of this game is all about the bubble players. If game 1 made it clear to everyone who hadn't got the memo that Max Pacioretty is not a bubble player and Nikita Grebenken is making a hard push to join the Leafs, this game reminds us that oh, yeah, Nick Robertson is still here. So is Bobby McMann. And look at the 1RW. 

If you've never paid any attention to the Marlies, Logan Shaw is a veteran centre, and one of the team's best players. I can't help but picture Fraser Minten as the centre of that line though. 

Go Leafs/Marlies Go!
