POSTGAME QUOTES
On today’s game:
Certainly, the first period wasn’t what we wanted. They, as we expected, came out really hard and physical. They set up their forecheck game before we did. We weren’t able to start the sequence of events that allowed us to play like we did yesterday. Defensively in our D zone, we didn’t box out, we didn’t protect our goalie. A couple rebound goals there were a sign of that. As the game went on, obviously there was a response by our team. They’ve done a lot of good work this year and they know what it takes to be competitive. Just a little let down I guess on wanting to finish off strong here in these 60-minutes before the break today.
BOBBY McMANN (2 GOALS)
On today’s game:
I think we thought it was going to be easier than it was at the start. We’ve got to know there’s no easy night. We got behind and then I don’t think we stuck to what we had success with the last game, and that was just getting pucks behind and skating and using our skill once we got into their zone. We were trying to be a little too fancy with it early on and that bit us pretty hard.

POSTGAME QUOTES
HEAD COACH GREG MOORE
On today’s game:
Power play helped us get the lead. Generally speaking, I thought five-on-five we had a pretty good game. Their goalie made a lot of good saves. Thought we controlled the game at even-strength for the most part. We just had a hard time cracking the code on getting pucks through him. Towards the end in the third period, they had a little bit of a push. Obviously playing a team back-to-back on a weekend, it’s really hard to beat a team twice and they were super motivated to not lose two in a row to us. Overall if we’re looking at our process, there are games this year our special teams and goaltending have won us the game even when we may not have controlled the game. I see this as a fourth game now where we’re playing much better, more consistent in controlling the game at even-strength. Today we just couldn’t find the bounces.
On the Rich Clune retirement ceremony:
Just trying to hold back the tears. Since I’ve been here, a lot has happened, and he’s been here the whole time since this season. As a head coach, you lean on your captain a lot. There’s a lot of conversations. We’re on the same page, pulling the rope in the same direction and you really need the perspective and voice of your captain to help you as a head coach to lead your team. I can’t say enough for what he’s done for me, for what he’s done for this organization and what he’s done for his teammates. He’s continuing to do it here as a development coach within the Toronto Maple Leafs organization. For all of us staff that have worked with him and been through thick and thin, it was great to celebrate him and the emotions were very positive.

VISITING THE MAPLE LEAFS
The New York Islanders will visit Toronto twice this season, on Nov. 21 and Jan. 23, 2023. The last time they visited
Toronto was April 17, 2021, a 4-2 loss. The last time the Islanders won in a road game against the Maple Leafs was
Dec. 29, 2018.
The Islanders also played the Maple Leafs one year ago today, when they hosted the Leafs on Nov. 21, 2021, as the
second opponent ever on UBS Arena ice. The game was a 3-0 decision in Toronto’s favor.
Forwards Josh Bailey and Zach Parise lead active Islanders in career points against the Maple Leafs, each with 23.
Bailey has recorded seven goals and 16 assists in 39 games against Toronto, and Parise has 10 goals and 13
assists, also in 39 games against them.
Jean-Gabriel Pageau has tallied 11 assists in 27 career matchups against the Maple Leafs, tied for the most against
any single opponent in his career (New Jersey). Entering tonight’s game, Pageau is fourth on the Islanders in assists
(8).
Islanders forward Matt Martin was a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs from 2016-18, appearing in 132 games with
Toronto, tallying 21 points (8g, 13a). He was traded back to the New York Islanders on July 3, 2018, in exchange for
Eamon McAdam.
The Islanders enter tonight’s game with a 6-4-0 record in their last ten contests.
AGAINST THE ATLANTIC
The Islanders collected their first win of the season against an Atlantic Division opponent last week. They can collect
their second straight victory against an Atlantic Division opponent tonight, after visiting Ottawa on Nov. 14 and earning a 4-2 win against the Senators.
ON THE ROAD
Tonight, the Islanders conclude a four-game road trip, their longest of the season so far. The Islanders look to split
their road trip 2-2-0 with this evening’s matchup, after falling to Nashville (5-4) and Dallas (5-2) in their last two
games.
Entering tonight’s game, the Islanders are 5-3-0 in their last eight road matchups. Through 10 road games this season, the Islanders have outscored opponents 33-31. The Islanders will look to earn their sixth road win of the season
tonight, bringing them above .500 in road games.

Ontario is the most well-represented Canadian province on the Islanders’ roster. Six active Islanders hail from Ontario: Josh Bailey, Casey Cizikas, Cal Clutterbuck, Matt Martin, Jean-Gabriel Pageau, and Adam Pelech. Of the six, two
are Toronto natives: Casey Cizikas and Adam Pelech.

Saturday night in Dallas, Mathew Barzal scored on the power play as the Islanders found the back of the net with a man

Islanders have scored on 30.3% of power play opportunities when they are the visitor.

POSTGAME QUOTES
HEAD COACH GREG MOORE
On what can be cleaned up from today’s win:
Consistency has been a big word in our room. We have found consistent starts. That was something we really wanted to focus on at the beginning of the season and I feel as though the team has a done a good job at that. The first period lead that we got set us up for success. You’d like the group in the second period to come out and really give (Abbotsford) nothing. I felt like we got a little comfortable, some poor puck decisions through the middle of the rink which fueled their opportunities. But then found a way again in the third period to get a win.
On Keith Petruzzelli in relief:
The big glove save in the third period was beautiful. We obviously don’t want to give up a chance like that but he kept us in the game. It’s always tough coming into a game partial way like that and to play the way he did was great. Yesterday was not a reflection on him (6-1 loss against Belleville). Being up, it had been some time since he had been in some game action and it can always take a little bit to find your timing, but he played well for us yesterday. Yesterday was more about the team giving up the chances that he did.
On Mikhail Abramov’s game-winning goal:
(It was) huge. The season hasn’t gone to plan as he would have expected with opportunity and ice time. He’s doing a great job at finding his way. He didn’t get to start the season in training camp and get his legs under him like the other guys did. He’s a great player that we really believe in and it was good to see him like that.
ADAM GAUDETTE (1 GOAL, 1 ASSIST)
On today’s game:
It’s always tough playing back-to-backs but we came out hard and got off to a good start which is what we’ve been focusing on. Definitely got to clean up the middle of the game to have a full 60 minutes of controlling the game but credit to us, we didn’t give up, we didn’t get down on ourselves. We just went back to work in the third period. There’s definitely things to work on and the good thing about back-to-back-to-backs is we’ve got another game tomorrow to work on stuff.
On Keith Petruzzelli:
He’s been great all year. He’s been an anchor for us all year. Coming in cold like that after a back-to-back is not something easy to do but he came in and Ferguson played great to start us off and then Petruzzelli picked it up after he went out and held us in there.
