Toronto Maple Leafs forward Andreas Johnsson is in the lineup for Sunday's winner-take-all Game 5 against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Johnsson, who hasn't played since Feb. 13 after suffering a knee injury that eventually required surgery, replaces 18-year-old Nick Robertson in the lineup and plays on Toronto's third line with Alexander Kerfoot and Ilya Mikheyev.
Here are the Leafs' forward lines:
| LW | C | RW |
|---|---|---|
| John Tavares | Auston Matthews | Mitch Marner |
| Zach Hyman | William Nylander | Kasperi Kapanen |
| Andreas Johnsson | Alexander Kerfoot | Ilya Mikheyev |
| Kyle Clifford | Pierre Engvall | Jason Spezza |
The 25-year-old Swede tallied eight goals and 21 points in 43 games during the regular season. Robertson had one goal in the series.
