The Maple Leafs are going with a line shuffle that they implemented in the third period of their last game.

WASHINGTON — The Toronto Maple Leafs continue on with their season-long 11-day road trip as they take on the Washington Capitals at Capital One Arena on Tuesday. At practice on Monday in Arlington, Virginia, the Leafs moved Tyler Bertuzzi off the team's top line with Auston Matthews and moved him to the second line with William Nylander and John Tavares.

"I think it's more just I want to get Jarnkrok back with Matthews and them," Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe said of the move. "The last couple of games I've started Bert with Auston and stepped away so we'll step away again here to start with."

Keefe also added that he wanted to keep Matthew Knies and Max Domi together after the pair combined for a pair of third-period goals in their come-from-behind 4-3 overtime victory against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday.

Bertuzzi has one goal in five games this season and was battling an undisclosed ailment, although he didn't miss any time as a result of it. The Maple Leafs signed the forward to a one-year, $5.5 million contract this summer.

The move will also see 19-year-old Fraser Minten stay as a healthy scratch for the second consecutive game.

Woll starts in goal for Toronto

Joseph Woll will get a chance to potentially steal the Maple Leafs net with a good showing against the Capitals. Ilya Samsonov allowed three goals on four shots on Saturday and was pulled for Woll, who made 30 saves in over 50 minutes played to help his team pick up the win.

Sandin and Carbery take on Leafs for the first time

Rasmus Sandin will play against the Toronto Maple Leafs for the first time since he was traded by the club to the Washington Capitals in exchange for defenseman Erik Gustafsson (now with the New York Rangers) and the Boston Bruins' first-round pick in the 2023 NHL Draft (Easton Cowan). Sandin recorded 10 goals and 38 points in 140 games spread over four seasons with the club that drafted with the first pick (29th overall) in the 2018 NHL Draft.

Spencer Carbery served has an assistant coach with the Maple Leafs for two seasons before joining the Washington Capitals to become their head coach. He made a change with his defensive deployment and has moved Sandin off the top pair to skate with Trevor van Riemsdyk.

The puck drop will take place just after 6 p.m. ET as the NHL experiments with an ESPN broadcast called 'Frozen Frenzy'. All 32 NHL teams are in action on Tuesday and each game will start in separate 15-minute intervals.
