"Tonight, we have to get the two points. It is a big night for Joe. We are all going to be playing for him. Ultimately, capping the night off with the two points is what it is all about."
"You go through a lot of adversity throughout the season. It seems like it has been there for quite some time with different things - injuries, goalies, and all types of things. You just have to keep pushing here. The standings are tight. We all know that. We need to start stringing some wins together and put ourselves in a better spot here by Christmas time."
"You are cognizant of where teams are at and what their mindset is. For example, we went into St. Louis last week and knew it was going to be an angry St. Louis team based on the game before against Nashville. We probably saw that. Were we totally ready for it? That's probably part of the learning process for our guys:"
Joseph Woll returns to the Maple Leafs' net while Connor Bedard remains out for Chicago, increasing the Maple Leafs' urgency to win.

Craig Berube expects a strong response from the leadership group, emphasized managing the workload between Woll and Dennis Hildeby, and said the team must start stringing wins together by Christmas.
