Mike Babcock<\/strong> has been heavily criticized for his use of players. Whether it\u2019s using Leo Komarov<\/a><\/strong> for 24 minutes in a game. Having either Mitch Marner<\/a><\/strong>, Connor Brown<\/a><\/strong> or William Nylander<\/a><\/strong> on the fourth line. Not to mention, keeping Kadri and Komarov together through the struggles that line has had. <\/span><\/p>\n

Late in the third period in the game against the <\/span>Colorado Avalanche<\/span><\/a> Babcock decided to change things up a bit.<\/span><\/p>\n

Getting The Best Out Of The Toronto Maple Leafs Forwards<\/span><\/h1>\n

At practice on Wednesday, Babcock was running a new group of lines. Lines that included recently called up Kasperi Kapanen<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and Matt Martin<\/a><\/strong> running plays as the scratched player. Komarov is now on the fourth line seemingly taking Matt Martin\u2019s role which he fits perfectly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lines at Leafs practice:<\/p>\n

Hyman-Matthews-Nylander
Marleau-Kadri-Marner
JvR-Bozak-Brown

Leo and Nazem, good friends and longtime linemates, split up today <\/p>\n

Martin could be out in Chicago<\/p>\n
