"Early on in the first seven or eight minutes of the first, we didn't really grab control of it. They had control. But we got control in the second period. We came out and built the 3-0 lead, and they got the quick two goals. In the third, I liked our start, and then it was kind of like we were hanging on... Well, not hanging on, but we let them come at us too much late on."
"Well, I don't know. I saw penalties out there tonight. I saw a tripping penalty late in the third that wasn't called. It is what it is. You go through these stretches sometimes. I think it is three in four games that we haven't gotten a power play. I don't know. I don't have an answer for that. I do, but I am not going to tell you guys."
Toronto defeated Calgary 4-2 to move to a 26-21-9 record. The game featured momentum shifts with Calgary controlling the early minutes before Toronto built a 3-0 lead in the second. Calgary responded with two quick goals, and Toronto started the third well but then faced heavy pressure late. Joseph Woll made several diving and second-effort saves and played a key role. The team blocked many shots and competed physically. William Nylander recorded three points while showing strong engagement in puck battles and defensive plays. The team continues to experience a power-play drought with no public remedy given, and Nylander's return has boosted confidence and scoring threat.
