"Good resilience and character coming back tonight. We were coming back the whole game, but we stuck with it. The guys had a good attitude and kept competing and doing good things. We ended up scoring some goals when we needed to. I didn't feel we played poorly tonight. I mean, we made some mistakes, and they went in the net."
"Offensively, we are connected right now, whether it is on the rush. Max didn't score (on the first shift), but it is that type of play, where we're driving to the net really well right now. It was unfortunate he didn't finish that off, but on our rush, we are driving the net well. We are doing a good job there."
The Maple Leafs rallied from 2-0, 4-1, and 5-4 deficits to win 6-5 in regulation, improving the record to 19-15-6. The team showed resilience, strong attitude, and consistent competition throughout the game despite allowing goals on mistakes. The offense has produced 25 goals over the last five games, driven by an effective forecheck that forces turnovers and by players driving to the net and using point shots. The lineup displayed good zone connection, consistent F3 support, and timely finishing. Auston Matthews returned feeling ready and performed at a very high level.
