“Listen, I get it. We’re down a lot of guys,” head coach Craig Berube said on Monday regarding the bad injury luck the team has faced in November. “[Replacements] got to step up and next man-up mentality and go play.”
Toronto’s victory in overtime on William Nylander’s late goal snapped a five-game winless streak for the Maple Leafs - their longest since April of 2021.
