"The Toronto Maple Leafs turned in their most impressive performance of the season Tuesday night, blanking the New Jersey Devils 4-0 despite being without Auston Matthews, William Nylander, Chris Tanev, and Dakota Joshua. Facing a talented Devils team, the Leafs needed a full 60-minute effort from every player on the bench, and that is exactly what they delivered. Many expected New Jersey's high-powered offence to overwhelm a depleted Toronto lineup."
"Joseph Woll once again proved why he has been Toronto's backbone this season. The Leafs' goaltender stopped all 33 shots he faced, earning the third shutout of his NHL career. Woll was calm, controlled, and composed, giving the Leafs confidence to play aggressively, knowing they had stability behind them. Against a Devils team that thrives off speed and transition, Woll's performance was exactly what Toronto needed and then some."
