Craig Berube on the Leafs collecting five of eight points from a tough road trip: "We were seven seconds away from getting six... Extremely good trip for the group"

"I think he has been good all year. He had a really good game tonight from a points standpoint, but all year, he has been solid - defensively, offensively, and in all of the things we ask him to do. He is playing with different partners most of the year, and he is playing the left side or the right side."

"He has been a solid player - a real good pro. He is playing like a real good pro right now. He gives us a lot every night, in my opinion. On Dennis Hildeby's 27-save performance: He got us the win. It is a tough building to come into. He made some key saves at the right time. On the three-for-three penalty killing effort: Excellent, especially the kill at the end. That was huge. I wasn't a fan"

The team rallied from a 3-1 deficit to win 4-3 in overtime, completing a tough road trip on a positive note. Players prioritized net-front battles against a big, heavy opponent and competed extremely hard in those areas. Auston Matthews skated energetically and his line provided a strong attack throughout the game. A turnover contributed to a difficult backdoor goal against elite competition, making the play tough to defend. Oliver Ekman-Larsson has been a consistently solid, versatile professional both defensively and offensively. Dennis Hildeby made key saves, and the penalty kill was excellent, including a crucial late kill.
