Maple Leafs lineup tonight: Toronto’s projected lineup for Game 5 against the Ottawa Senators

The Toronto Maple Leafs will look to close out their first-round series against the Ottawa Senators at home on Tuesday. After jumping out to an early 3-0 lead in the series thanks to a dominant win in Game 1 on April 20, and close wins in overtime thrillers in games two (April 22) and three (Thursday), Toronto was handed a 4-3 loss on Saturday in Ottawa.

With the series shifting back to their home ice for Game 5, the Maple Leafs are eager to punch their ticket to the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

With a win, Toronto would advance to the second round for just the second time in the last 20 years.
