POSTGAME QUOTES
HEAD COACH GREG MOORE
On today’s game:
It was a good 60-minute effort. Good energy, good start. We built momentum, got stronger as the game went on in terms of managing the puck and not giving them turnovers in transition towards our net.
On Källgren’s shutout:
He was great today. That’s back-to-back games in this barn where he’s done a really good job shutting the door. I don’t know if the shutout has been on the mind for anyone. I’m sure for him as any goalie is looking to get their first and even to this point, he probably deserves a shutout prior to this one. There were a couple of games here and there where we had some leads and we didn’t shut the door the way we should in the third period. He’s been really patient, he’s been working really hard. The consistency and the calmness in which he plays gives our team a lot of confidence.
JOEY ANDERSON (1 GOAL, 2 ASSISTS)
On today’s game:
Today was an awesome effort by everyone. Right out of the gate, we were physical. (Källgren) played great in the back end. We were simple with the puck. Like I said, I think this is the most physical game we’ve played and it’s just awesome that guys stepped up today. There wasn’t a guy out there that wasn’t carrying his weight. It was a complete 60-minutes from us today. It was really awesome for us to be able to help (Källgren) get that shutout today. It’s something we can build off of as a group.
ERIK KÄLLGREN (FIRST CAREER AHL SHUTOUT)
On his first shutout and whether he had thought about it this season:
You think about it. I think about it. You want to get the one. I’m not going to lie to you. We’ve been close a couple times before but of course we get the win and that’s the most important thing but to get that shutout is nice.
On the team’s performance in front of him:
We were very solid defensively. A couple of guys made some really big plays defensively. That obviously helps a lot. I think they had 11 shots for the last two periods. That definitely helps me. This is a team win and you can’t get a shutout without the team.

Tonight marks the third of four meetings between the two teams this season, with Toronto winning the first two. The Raptors are shooting .556 (35-63) from beyond the arc, while holding the Hawks to .344 (21-61) shooting, in the first two games. Pascal Siakam is averaging a team-high 29.0 points, while Gary Trent Jr. is averaging 25.0 points against Atlanta this season. The Raptors have
won seven of their last eight games in Atlanta, dating back to the 2017-2018 season.
• Toronto dropped a 125-93 decision to the Charlotte Hornets on Friday night. The Raptors have lost three of the last four games (Feb. 12-25), after a season-long eight game winning streak (Jan. 29 – Feb. 10). Toronto is 8-3 (.727) on the second night of a back-to-back this season, after going 3-13 last year. The

• Scottie Barnes scored a career-high 28 points (13-18 FG, 2-2 FT) and added five rebounds and two steals in 32 minutes Friday night in Charlotte. Barnes became just the fourth rookie in franchise history to
record 25+ points and shoot 70 percent or better from the field, joining Vince Carter, Terence Davis and Charlie Villanueva. Barnes, along with Damon Stoudamire, are the only two rookies in franchise history to

He sat out Feb. 10 at Houston with left groin soreness and Feb. 16 at Minnesota with a right knee contusion. VanVleet has made 203 threes this season – third most in a season in Raptors history; behind only Kyle Lowry (238 in 2017-18 & 212 in 2015-16). VanVleet has connected on 5+ threes in a franchise record 18 games this season.
• Pascal Siakam is currently averaging 21.6 points, and career highs of 8.5 rebounds and 5.1 assists, in 45 games this season.

• The Hawks will face off against the Toronto Raptors for the third time this season on Saturday, 2/26, at State Farm Arena. In the team’s most
recent outing against the Raptors on 2/4, Atlanta swiped a season-high tying 12 steals. Delon Wright and Bogdan Bogdanovic each recorded four
steals as reserves, a season-high tying mark for Wright and a career-high tying mark for Bogdanovic. Wright and Bogdanovic became only the
fifth Hawks duo since steals became an official stat (1973-74) to have 4+ steals in the same game coming off the bench, per Elias Sports.
• Atlanta enters Saturday’s game having won nine of its last 11 games played at State Farm Arena. Over those 11 outings, the Hawks are averaging
120.5 PPG and 27.8 APG (.512 FG%, .402 3FG%, .811 FT%). At home this season, Atlanta’s shooting .481% from the field, third-best in the
NBA and second-best in the Eastern Conference, while scoring 114.6 PPG, the third-most in the NBA and second-most in the East.
• The Hawks have connected on 10-or-more three-pointers in 15 consecutive home games (since 12/22/21 vs. Orlando), tying the longest such
streak in franchise history and marking the second-longest active such streak in the NBA. Atlanta has knocked down 15+ three-pointers six times
during that span, averaging 14.1 3FGM in those 15 games.
• In the month of February, Bogdan Bogdanovic is averaging 17.3 PPG, 4.2 RPG, 3.8 APG and 1.8 SPG in 30.1 MPG as a reserve (.479 FG%,
.448 3FG%, .769 FT%). He’s scored 20-or-more points in four of his last five games, which includes a season-high 27 points on 2/24 at Chicago,
and has seven games of three-or-more three-pointers in February – the most by any bench player this month. Bogdanovic ranks second amongst
all bench players in the month of February in total steals (16), total points (156) and total made three-point field goals (30), while ranking tied
third in total assists (34).
• Against the Chicago Bulls on 2/24, Danilo Gallinari netted 26 points (10-18 FG, 2-4 3FG, 4-6 FT), in addition to nine rebounds in 35 minutes. It
was only the ninth time in his career Gallinari’s notched at least 26 points and nine rebounds and the first time doing so since 3/31/19 against
Memphis. Gallinari has scored 25-or-more points in two of his last three games, averaging 20.7 PPG and 5.3 RPG over that time (.500 FG%,
.467 3FG%, .813 FT%).
• Trae Young registered his 29th points/assist double-double of the season against the Bulls on 2/24, finishing with 14 points, a game-high 10
assists and three rebounds in 37 minutes. Young’s 29 points/assist double-doubles are tied for the most such double-doubles in a single season in
his career (29, 2018-19 season). It’s also tied for the fourth-most points/assist double-doubles by any Hawk in a single season in franchise
history.
• Clint Capela notched his 13th game of the season grabbing 15+ rebounds on 2/24 against Chicago, tallying 17 rebounds, in addition to 14 points.
His 13 games of 15-or-more rebounds this season are the fourth-most in the NBA. Since the 2014-15 season, Capela has 92 games of 15+
rebounds, the fifth-most such games in the last seven season. Capela currently ranks third in the NBA in RPG, averaging 12.2 RPG per game
