In the penultimate game of the NHL regular season, the Toronto Maple Leafs face the Buffalo Sabres with significant stakes. The Leafs are vying for the Atlantic Division title and individual milestones for Mitch Marner and Auston Matthews. Sabres' head coach Lindy Ruff emphasized the importance of focusing on finishing the season strong despite the Sabres having nothing to play for. Key players like John Tavares acknowledge the opportunity to secure their spot, highlighting the pressing need to capitalize on recent performances while preparing for a challenging matchup against a scoring-savvy Sabres squad.
Just stay in the moment. We want to win hockey games. We want to stay focused. We didn't like our last game by any means. We need a response to the last game.
They play hard. They do a good job of staying tight inside. They have good speed going up ice.
It is obviously a great opportunity. It has been really close over the last couple of games.
We have to come out and be ready to go. This (Sabres) team is scoring a lot of goals lately and has high-end talent.
