Toronto Maple Leafs

Maple Leafs lines at morning skate as they prepare to take on the Boston Bruins tonight. With Alexander Kerfoot out indefinitely after having surgery to repair facial dental fractures, Jason Spezza is taking his spot on the third line today. 

Per TSN's Kristen Shilton, Dmytro Timashov took the first rush on the fourth line, but Nic Petan came off the ice first while Timashov stayed out with the other projected scratches. So based on that information, Petan-Shore-Gauthier will be the fourth line against Boston.
