"We give up a 2-on-1, we take a penalty, no need for that penalty, and they scored again with their goalie out. Yeah, the tying goal, it's tough. We have a broken stick and you can't cover everybody. That was a tough play, seven seconds. You know, we didn't finish 'em off. I think we can probably do a better job in the third period of just managing a little better than we did."
"We got off to a great start and I thought we played really well tonight for the most part of the game. We just gotta be smarter in certain situations, that's what it boils down to tonight. I think we played a solid game tonight, but we made some mistakes that we don't need to make in the third period."
Toronto scored two quick first-period goals and held the lead for nearly 58 minutes before Vegas tied the game with seven seconds remaining and won in overtime. The third period featured a surrendered 2-on-1, an unnecessary penalty, a goal with the goalie pulled, and a broken stick that hampered defensive coverage. Those mistakes allowed the comeback and forced overtime, costing Toronto two points. Toronto sits 1-1-1 on the southwest road trip and holds a 7-11-3 road record this season. The team will face the Winnipeg Jets next before returning home for a five-game homestand.
