"Joseph Woll was outstanding, recording 35 saves in the winning effort. Woll kept the Blue Jackets in check throughout the contest, and effectively shut the door during his fifth consecutive start. Easton Cowan tied the game with under four minutes remaining in regulation, before William Nylander registered the game-winning goal. Berube pulled Woll from Saturday's game against the Montreal Canadiens, a decision that the goaltender was incensed by. After Wednesday's victory, Berube once again paid compliments to Woll."
"Cowan's game-tying goal was the second of his NHL career. The 20-year-old continues to impress in a top-six role, featuring as one of the Maple Leafs' most impactful players while paired with William Nylander and John Tavares. "He is a young kid. There will be mistakes, but he learns from them, in my opinion. He listens, and he wants to get better. He has ice water in his veins. He doesn't feel the pressure," Berube said of Cowan."
