The goal brought Max Domi's season tally to eight and 30 points in 66 games. Mitch Marner, currently signed to a $65.4 million contract, praised Max Domi's goal after the game, saying:

"It's not surprising. That's what he's got in his bag. I've seen it for many years. I've seen it since London. So it's a helluva fake shot to get across, pull to the backhand and get it up in such a hurry."

With the win, the Maple Leafs improved their record to 45-25-4 atop the Atlantic Division standings.

"I thought the team competed hard tonight. I thought we were a little tired and gassed, or it looked like it, anyway," Leafs HC Craig Berube said post-game. "But we did a good job defending. We did what we had to do to win the game."
"Overall, I was happy with our game. Our guys did what we had to do to win the game. We knew what type of game it was going to be, and I thought we handled it well."

The Toronto Maple Leafs host the Florida Panthers at Scotiabank Arena next on Wednesday.
