"I thought he played a very good game. I was very happy with him, Quillan, and Cowboy. They all played well tonight. This rink can be a pretty hostile environment and tough to play in, but I thought all three of them were very good tonight."
"In the minors, Groulx has put up some really good numbers. I was pretty impressed with a couple of plays he made tonight. He challenged defensemen and beat them. He had a couple of good scoring chances."
The Toronto Maple Leafs suffered their ninth consecutive loss to the Montreal Canadiens, falling 3-1 on Tuesday night. Despite the disappointing result, Benoit-Olivier Groulx's NHL debut with Toronto provided a bright spot for the team. Playing in front of family and friends in Montreal, Groulx impressed head coach Craig Berube with his play, though he did not record a point. Berube praised Groulx alongside two other players for performing well in a hostile environment. Groulx has been a dominant force with the Toronto Marlies, accumulating 50 points in 54 games including 27 goals. Recent trades enabled the former second-round pick to secure a third-line centre position. At 26 years old, Groulx seeks to revive his NHL career after limited success with the Anaheim Ducks.
