"I have never been in this situation before in my career. I have missed a couple of games here and there. In the last five or so years, I haven't had to deal with it. It is something new, but you try to stay grounded. The staff has been great with me in helping me get ready. I am pretty pumped to get back here and get going."
"We chatted about it this morning already. We have to find it again and continue to talk. I have been playing with Stevie since I got here. Cowboy is playing with a lot of energy. We have to continue that, read off each other, play with energy, play with speed, get in on the forecheck, and change the momentum of games by keeping teams in the offensive zone."
Scott Laughton returns to the lineup after his second injury of the season and emphasizes staying in the right mindset and doing off-ice preparation to be ready. He says limited game time on comeback gives his other injury more time to heal and credits team staff for helping him stay grounded. Laughton plans to rekindle chemistry with Steven Lorentz and Easton Cowan by playing with energy, speed and strong forechecking to keep opponents in the offensive zone. He praises Cowan’s ability to create and adapt to the pro schedule. Calle Jarnkrok joked about speaking Swedish with William Nylander. Toronto aims to rebound from a 6-3 loss to Columbus.
