Leafs go with same lineup for Game 6, Pacioretty to play with Tavares, Nylander

OTTAWA — Craig Berube is standing pat — with a slight adjustment.

The Maple Leafs head coach will go with the same lineup for Game 6 of his team’s first-round playoff series against the Ottawa Senators despite consecutive losses that cut Toronto’s lead to 3-2.

Berube had the option to bring forwards Nick Robertson or David Kampf out of the press box, but said he’s liked a lot about the team’s overall performance despite recent results.

Veteran forward Max Pacioretty was promoted to the second line beside John Tavares and William Nylander at Thursday’s morning skate.

Toronto won the first three games in the Battle of Ontario — including two in overtime — before Ottawa picked up a 4-3 OT decision and 4-0 shutout to twice stave off elimination.
