Briefly

Craig Berube on Easton Cowan's first NHL goal: "He had a hell of a game... Held onto pucks, made plays, competed, and his stick details... A really good player for us tonight"
"I thought we were a little slow at the start, but we got to our game. We played more direct tonight. Our forecheck was good, our offensive zone play was good, and our PK was really good tonight. We had a lot of people contributing in the game, and our goalie was really good."
"He is getting some more tests done now, but he is moving. I think he'll be alright, but he is getting some tests done right now. We'll know more in a little while. He is getting some tests done, and we'll know soon. He might be coming home with us."
"He had a hell of a game tonight, with the way he held onto pucks, made plays, competed on the puck, and his stick details. He did a lot of good things. He was a really good player tonight for us."
"With Robby, it is just effort, right? If you look back before he scored that goal, he had two big blocks in the third. His speed and shot are dangerous. His work ethic drives everything with him for me. It is not about that so much, I don't think. Last year, he was basically mostly a third-line player, but with power play and so on. This year, we have different players, so we gave him a look up there. He's doing a good job."
The Maple Leafs won 5-2 over the Philadelphia Flyers, improving the team record to 6-5-1. The team started a bit slow but played a more direct game with effective forechecking, solid offensive-zone play, and a strong penalty kill. Multiple players contributed and the goaltender delivered a strong performance. Chris Tanev is undergoing additional tests but is mobile and may be alright, with the possibility of returning home soon. Easton Cowan scored his first NHL goal and demonstrated puck protection, playmaking, competitive instincts, and strong stick details. Nick Robertson provided two points, notable blocks, speed, a dangerous shot, and consistent work ethic, earning a top-six look due to roster changes and performance.
