"The Toronto Maple Leafs have lost four games in a row, and they'll look to their old lines to try and spark them into a win against the Buffalo Sabres. It's arguably the most important game of the season, given that it's against a divisional rival that's ahead of them in the standings, while the Maple Leafs currently sit six points out of a playoff spot."
"Head coach Craig Berube confirmed before the game that rookie Jacob Quillan, who played less than six minutes against the Colorado Avalanche on Sunday, will exit the lineup in favour of veteran Calle Jarnkrok. He also confirmed that Joseph Woll would get another kick at the can against the Sabres, speaking favourably about his performance against Colorado despite allowing three goals."
""I think they're getting really good goaltending, that's a big key for them in my opinion," Berube said. "Their goaltending's been really good, and they have the ability to score a lot of goals. We all know that, they've got a lot of talent, but they're playing a real good team game. That's how I see it.""
The Toronto Maple Leafs have lost four straight games and sit six points outside a playoff position as they face divisional rival Buffalo. Head coach Craig Berube replaced rookie Jacob Quillan with veteran Calle Jarnkrok and confirmed Joseph Woll will start in net after a competent showing despite allowing three goals. Berube praised Woll's recent play and credited the Sabres' strong goaltending and team game as key reasons for their improvement. The Maple Leafs will honour Darryl Sittler's 50th anniversary ten-point game, and Sittler and Tiger Williams spoke to the team about pride and organizational standards.
