Craig Berube on the Leafs' 25 penalty minutes in their last two wins: "The guys are sticking up for each other, and I've got no problem with it... It goes a long way with culture and team chemistry"

"I could tell early on that we were lacking a little juice tonight - travel, a tough game in Boston, and we used up a lot of energy. I felt like we just weren't thinking very [well] out there tonight. That happens."

"A lot. If you go back to last season, what a pair he and Chris Tanev were all year in a shutdown role. It's the sacrifice they make night in and night out, the simple things in the game - shot blocks, defending, all of that - and taking pride in it."

"When he came back from the injury, I thought he came out of the gate pretty well. He had some juice. He was out a long time, so it tends to drop off a bit. But he has it back now."

"I talked about it, the retaliatory penalties. We have been taking too many penalties of late, for sure, but I think the guys are pretty tuned into getting involved, sticking up for each other, and getting in there, which is good."

The Maple Leafs secured a 4-3 victory over the New York Rangers, enhancing their record to 31-29-13. Coach Craig Berube noted the team's lack of energy due to travel and a previous tough game. Despite this, the players competed hard, with strong goaltending and key plays making the difference. Jake McCabe's leadership and defensive skills were highlighted, while Dakota Joshua's return from injury has seen him regain his scoring and physical play. Berube acknowledged the team's recent penalty issues but appreciated their willingness to support each other.
