"Yeah, it's not up to our standard, myself included," Stolarz said postgame. "You look at eight shots, and just kind of allow them to go east-west. We knew coming into the second intermission that we kind of had to wake up, put our feet down here in the third."
""They bring this energy, they play a straightforward, simple game," Berube said of Lorentz and Laughton via Terry Koshan of the Toronto Sun. "They do a lot of the dirty work for us out there. When it's not going right, these guys can go change the momentum of a game."
Anthony Stolarz is projected to start Wednesday against the Utah Mammoth after being held out of Tuesday's practice for maintenance. He has a 5-4-1 record and a .896 save percentage in 10 starts and has taken on the majority of the team's goaltending workload. The 31-year-old has been a vocal leader and called for personal improvement after the Maple Leafs rallied to a 4-3 win over Pittsburgh following a 3-0 deficit. Stolarz acknowledged substandard play, cited allowing east-west chances on eight shots, and emphasized the need to reset in the third period. Coach Berube praised Steven Lorentz and Scott Laughton for energy and momentum-changing, physical play. The projected lineup lists Matthews, Nylander, Tavares and Stolarz as the starter.
