Vinni Lettieri (5'10) on fighting Connor Murphy (6'4):
"He's a little bigger than me. I knew I wasn't going to probably win that one, but sometimes you've got to be out of character & answer when it comes. He already had a good grab on me to start but, yeah, it was fine"

Leafs shooting % - 20.9% on the road (2nd) vs 9.8% at home (22nd)
Both Auston Matthews and Kirill Marchenko have points in all five road games.
13.8 scoring chances per game on the road vs 19.1 at home.
5.2 goals per game on the road 2nd in the NHL, 3.0 at home is 18th
Toronto has scored 23 goals in its last 4 road games, averaging 5.75 per game. That puts the Leafs halfway to their franchise record of eight consecutive road games with at least four goals.
Best goal differential by a @MapleLeafs team in their first 5 road games of a season:
+12 in 1940-41
+11 in 2026-27 (Outscoring opponents 26-15 following tonight's 7-2 win at EDM)

+9 in 1933-34
+8 in 1949-50

"I don't know anything about that. What's going on?"
Marchenko didn't realize this will be final game at the Saddledome
"I don't care much about arena. I care more about my game, team game"
On that subject, Kirill's liking chemistry with Nylander👇

Darren Raddysh on logging tough minutes & showing off defensive play since Chris Tanev injury:
"Maybe sometimes I do get knocked a little bit for that, but I know what I'm capable of"
And, yes, he remembers those old Connor McDavid tweets 🙂👇

William Nylander on final game at Saddledome:
"It'll be a fun one. This building's got some character. I was here when I was born watching my dad play, so it's been a long time. The new one will be really nice, but it'll be a fun, exciting last game"

Darren Raddysh on first Leafs game in Edmonton: "That was a playoff game, the atmosphere there ..."
Kirill Marchenko: "I'm really surprised ... so many guys support the Leafs"
Vinni Lettieri: "Felt like a home game for a little bit of it"

Anthony Stolarz: "This is probably our most complete game of the year & hopefully sets a standard for us going forward"
@TSN_Sports
Auston Matthews on Easton Cowan:
"I really love playing with him. Super, super easy guy to play with, very smart. Can make plays all over the ice, but he's also defensively very responsible & you can kind of see the maturity that's grown in his game too"
@TSN_Sports
Auston Matthews: "You recognize the challenge you're going up against & you need everybody on board to meet that challenge. It's not pretty at times but we stuck with it. PK was great. D was great. Stollie was great & we were able to put the puck in the net when we needed to"
Stecher on more TOI since Tanev injury: "I've always believed in myself & I know I can play at this level, at a high level, & I've shown that throughout my career ... It's nice the coaching staff is trusting me & giving me a lot of opportunity & I'm trying to make the most of it"
Stolarz on doing McKenna-inspired celebration:
"The vibes are great. We got a great group ... influx of kids that have a lot of energy & they're really bringing out the best in everyone. It's an exciting time to be to be Maple Leaf & the team's gelling really well"
@BarDown
Troy Stecher on scoring in Edmonton:
"Obviously, it means a lot. Played parts of three years here & a couple long playoff runs with them & a lot of friendships on the other side, so it was nice to get one offensively for sure"

Jim Hiller on Leafs starting Anthony Stolarz tonight: "Just a decision"
on Stolarz: "He was really good in Columbus ... We got a lot of belief in both those two goaltenders & glad we have them as a tandem"

Anthony Stolarz starts for Leafs tonight in Edmonton, coach Jim Hiller says
@TSN_Sports
Roslovic on how Matthews approaches shutting down elite opposition:
"No fear. Doesn't get jittery. It's just his presence is really, you know, calming but alertful for the whole team. He's definitely our backbone & his ability to play 200-feet is, you know, wow, he's so good"
Auston Matthews on McDavid's start:
"I don't think it's really too surprising. Since he's came in the league, he's been the standard ... a very, very big challenge"
Bringing same mindset as two weeks ago against MacKinnon👇

This Leafs trip (EDM, CGY, SEA, VAN) is as close to home as McKenna can get in NHL
"There will be a decent crew coming all over the swing," Gavin says
Expects biggest turnout in Vancouver (including parents)
Overheard in Edmonton this AM, "Half of Whitehorse is here"
@BarDown
McKenna on Auston Matthews ability to matchup with McDavid:
"He's a hungry guy. He's very competitive ... one of those guys who you can put in that situation. We all believe in him & I think you'll see it Saturday. He's going to step up to that occasion"

"We lost in the first round three times when I was there, but I also know what we had & we had kids. I'm proud of my time there. I loved my time there."
