Head coach Craig Berube and goaltender Joseph Woll have special ties to the city of St. Louis, and as TSN's Mark Masters writes, both are excited for the Toronto Maple Leafs' Saturday game there on their upcoming road trip.
"That's a good question," the Leafs goalie said with a smile."I need to reach out to my mom and make sure we have tickets all sorted out and stuff. It will be a nice surprise."
Woll lost his season debut against the Blues last week allowing four goals on 26 shots. He said it was"surreal" to face the team he grew up supporting for the first time. "Last night I felt more comfortable in the net, so just trying to build on that and find the swing of the season."Mattamy Homes will donate $5,000 to the the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, Canada's largest mental health teaching hospital, every time Woll wins a home game this season.
With 8.1 seconds left in the first period, the Leafs had a faceoff in the Kraken end. Matthews quickly called over linemates Mitch Marner and"He was drawing to the inside," the Arizona native observed. "It's the 200-foot game that's really where it's been fun to watch him grow, especially on the penalty kill," said Marner."Just through his stick position, his positioning."
Knies has scored in three straight games and already has six goals on the season. He scored 15 times in 80 games as a rookie. "I don't have a problem with his game," Berube said."Ice time is ice time. I try to use my bench as best I can. I think everybody is important. I try to manage the bench that way. People have roles. I use them in those roles."
"He hasn't had a lot of time to work on it, to be honest with you," Berube told TSN."We've kind of had our guys in their roles for penalty killing and we've stuck with that for now, but there's always an opportunity." With the Leafs off to a 3/30 start to the season, Berube split up the core four forwards heading into Monday's game in Winnipeg.
Toronto failed to convert on the four power plays so far this week, but there does seem to be progress.
