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.

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.
The Senators are looking to become just the fourth team in NHL history to win a best-of-seven series after trailing 3-0. Game 7, if necessary, would be Saturday in Toronto.
