"Whenever I play Nick, it is neat. I think this is probably our seventh or eighth time playing against each other. The novelty doesn't wear off, but at the end of the day, he's been doing it for a while, and I've been doing it for a little longer than a while. It's just another game. I don't know if we've been a high-shot team since I've been here. I don't recall a year where we peppered the goalie."
"It is always difficult with a young kid like that, but I feel like it is time for him to get a little reset here and watch a game, look at some film, and work on things. He turned pucks over too much in the last game and was a little light in some areas. Good. There were positives in the game last night."
Toronto enters a tougher game tonight against the second-place Dallas Stars after struggles against Nashville. Coach Craig Berube emphasized managing the puck, controlling shift length, and clear puck decisions during line changes. Berube healthy scratched Easton Cowan to allow a reset after repeated turnovers and light play. Berube noted positives from the previous game, including better puck movement and increased confidence, while acknowledging avoidable mistakes. Jason Robertson described facing his brother as familiar and praised the Stars' offensive skill, noting the team generates high-quality chances despite relatively low shot volume when traffic is present in front of the net.
