"It was a great effort by our team. It's great to have Willy back. We got it done. It took a bit."
"I thought he was really good tonight. He skated extremely well, competed, and created offense. Overall, hearing him on the bench talking, he brings leadership and things like that. I thought he elevated everybody on the team, to be honest with you."
"That three-on-three sometimes gets a little wild, but Woll made some big saves. He made a huge save late in the third period when they had an odd-man rush. For me, that is a save that wins the hockey game. Well, it's huge. Both of our goalies"
Berube praised a strong team effort and welcomed William Nylander back after Jan. 15, noting Nylander skated well, competed, created offense, and provided leadership. Nylander played over 20 minutes, did not record a point, but helped generate the offense the Leafs had been missing during a six-game losing streak. The Maple Leafs entered the third period down 2-1 and were instructed to deliver their best period; they controlled possession but struggled to score. Joseph Woll made several big saves, including a late odd-man rush stop described as a game-winning save. The win moved Toronto past Philadelphia and New Jersey, leaving the team eight points out of a playoff spot ahead of a two-week Olympic break.
