Craig Berube on the Leafs' frustrating OT loss in Vegas: "We can't give up that 2-on-1 in the third, and there is no need for that penalty, either"

"Just a couple of mistakes in the third. We gave up a 2-on-1. We took a penalty; no need for that penalty, and they scored again. And then with the goalie out... I mean, the tying goal is tough. We had a broken stick. You can't cover everybody. That was a tough play, with seven seconds left."

"We just didn't finish them off. I think we can probably do a better job in the third period of just managing it a little better than we did. We can't give up that 2-on-1. There is no need for that penalty (by Easton Cowan), either."

"Lower body. It is hard. He was back playing great, and now he is out again. We'll see how long. I don't know when it happened. It was early in the first period."

The Maple Leafs fell 5-4 in overtime to the Vegas Golden Knights, dropping to 23-16-8. Coach Craig Berube cited a couple of third-period mistakes as decisive: allowing a 2-on-1, taking an unnecessary penalty, and conceding a tying goal late after the goalie was pulled and a player’s stick broke. The team started the road trip well in Colorado but faces frustration after consecutive setbacks. William Nylander left with a lower-body issue and the timing of the injury is unclear. Simon Benoit’s injury is not serious and he is expected to be available for the next game.
