Maple Leafs to start Stolarz, feature NHL lineup vs. Red Wings

The Toronto Maple Leafs‘ top players will get a final tune-up as they host the Detroit Red Wings in pre-season action.

Anthony Stolarz will get the start in goal and play the entire game, according to head coach Craig Berube.

The Leafs will also roll out a lineup that is intended to resemble what they have on opening night. This includes getting a first look at Max Domi on the top line with Auston Matthews and Mathew Knies.

Rookie Easton Cowan remains on the fourth line alongside Scott Laughton and Steven Lorentz, which means veterans Calle Jarnkrok, David Kampf and Nick Robertson appear to be on the outside looking in.

Puck drop between the Leafs and Red Wings is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET on Sportsnet and Sportsnet+.

Knies – Matthews – Domi
McMann – Tavares – Nylander
Maccelli – Roy – Joshua
Lorentz – Laughton – Cowan
