Maple Leafs Adjust Lineup for Game 3 Against Senators

The Toronto Maple Leafs are making a notable lineup change for Game 3 against the Ottawa Senators by inserting veteran forward Max Pacioretty into the third line, replacing Nick Robertson. Pacioretty, who has not played since February 8 due to injury, brings experience and a physical presence as the Leafs aim to extend their 2-0 series lead. Head coach Craig Berube initially suggested lineup consistency but ultimately opted for Pacioretty's size and veteran edge. Robertson's removal follows a costly penalty and limited offensive output in the first two games. Goaltender Anthony Stolarz, whose strong performance has been key for the Leafs, will start again as the series shifts to Ottawa. The Leafs' power play has also been a significant factor, operating at an impressive 57 percent success rate through two games.
