""I felt like we were clicking out there. We made a lot of good plays. [Boyd] had a great night, same with [Shaw]. Two good players, and they've been around this league for a while. We got to follow off them, support them, and we'll be good. Overall, at five-on-five, we played really good. We played direct, we played north, and we were hard on pucks." - Easton Cowan"
"Like the previous outing, Toronto got off to the worst possible start. Matt Strome was allowed to cut inside from the right boards and scored low glove side on Artur Akhtyamov just 18 seconds into the game. The Marlies responded positively by spending a good chunk of time in the Hershey zone. Two booming point shots from Noah Chadwick resulted in rebounds that narrowly evaded those in blue sweaters. The young defenseman continued to be a threat offensively."
""[Cowan] was really good - really good. He can move, and he's good with the puck. He sees the ice. I'm certainly very happy he was on the line tonight with [Shaw] and me. I'm really looking forward to continuing to play with him and build even more chemistry."- Travis Boyd on the performance of linemate Easton Cowan"
The Toronto Marlies produced a strong, collective performance highlighted by Travis Boyd's four-point night and significant support from linemate Easton Cowan. The team overcame an immediate setback when Matt Strome scored 18 seconds in on Artur Akhtyamov, then sustained pressure in the Hershey zone. Noah Chadwick generated danger with powerful point shots and offensive threat as a rookie defenseman. Henry Thrun capitalized on a turnover and scored from the top of the circles to tie the game. Players emphasized five-on-five play, direct northbound puck movement, and hard work on pucks throughout the game.
