Craig Berube on Joseph Woll's positive impact on the Leafs: "He was so pissed off at me for pulling him the other night, but I like that... He wanted to fight"

"Knies, Matthews, and Roy all practiced today, and they looked good. They did finish practice, but we still have to see about tomorrow. That is where they're at. But it is good that they finished practice and went through all the drills. That is where they're at." - Craig Berube"

"Why did you decide to have Roy, Matthews, and Knies practice separately? Berube: Well, they're out right now, right? I put them on a line together. And I just wanted to see what it would look like, haha."

"Some of your players have mentioned how much of a calming presence Joseph Woll has been. Have you noticed the benefits of that? Berube: For sure. He has been solid. It has been very good for our team to get him back in. Just his battle level - he was so pissed off at me for pulling him the other night, but I like that. He wanted to be in there and fight. That's good."

Knies, Matthews and Roy practiced fully and completed drills, but their availability for tomorrow remains uncertain. The team held a constructive morning meeting and followed with a hard, positive practice that improved the overall vibe. Joseph Woll returned and provided a calming presence and competitive battle level that benefited team morale. William Nylander was moved to the right today to give him a different look while Cowan played left. Defensive pairs listed include Rielly with Ekman-Larsson and Benoit with McCabe. The club continues to experiment with line combinations ahead of an upcoming road trip.
