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

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

INDIVIDUAL NOTES
COACH SMITH: D.J. Smith was introduced as the Senators’ 14th head coach in franchise history on 5/23/19. A native of Windsor, Ont.,
Smith spent the four previous NHL seasons as an assistant coach with the Toronto Maple Leafs. Prior to joining the Maple Leafs (which
was also the team for which he made his NHL playing debut in 1996-97), Smith guided the Ontario Hockey League’s Oshawa Generals
to a record of 135-53-3-13 over three campaigns which included his having been recognized as the OHL’s Coach of the Year in 2013-

One year later, he helped the team capture the Mastercard Memorial Cup. His 81 head coaching victories with Ottawa see him rank
sixth in franchise history.
SECOND SEASON AS CAPTAIN FOR CHUCKY: Two-time NHL All-Star Brady Tkachuk was appointed the 10th captain in Senators
franchise history on 11/5/21. A native of St. Louis, Tkachuk succeeded Erik Karlsson who served in the role for four seasons from 2014-
15 to 2017-18. The bronze medal winner with Team U.S.A. at the 2018 IIHF World Junior Championship is the first American-born
skater to serve as team captain. Tkachuk is assisted by full-time alternates Thomas Chabot and Claude Giroux.
1 FOR 85: By way of skating in Thursday’s 4-1 loss at Buffalo, Senators defenceman Jake Sanderson made his NHL debut after being
drafted fifth-overall by the club in 2020. A native of Whitefish, Montana, the rearguard became the first native of the state to appear in
an NHL contest while making his debut against the same team his father Geoff did, when as a member of the Hartford Whalers, he
participated in the first of his 1,104 regular season games on 3/30/91. In skating in 22:21 time-on-ice (the second highest total on the
club), he became one of nine players since 2013 to appear in at least 22 minutes during their first game while sporting the number 85 –
the second player in franchise history to do so joining Vitaly Abramov who wore it for five regular season games from 2018-19 to 2020-
21.

POSTGAME QUOTES:
HEAD COACH SHELDON KEEFE
On Tampa Bay’s pushback:
“I thought that they would play better, that’s more of the team that we prepared for. I think it’s obviously
the difference of the game is special teams. At five-on-five it’s a pretty even hockey game, but their power
play was better and we took too many penalties.”
JOHN TAVARES
On tonight’s game:
“I think in the second half of the game, especially after we made it 2-1, I don’t think we grabbed the game
as well as they did. Obviously being shorthanded as much as we were, especially when we got down it
was hard to really get our game going and find our way back into it. So a couple opportunities off the rush
for them that they capitalized on, and obviously with that many power plays and the players they have on
their power play that puts a lot of stress on Soup and our penalty kill so we have to be more disciplined.
We came out pretty well, I think we had a pretty good start to the period, obviously tough break there on
the first goal against but in saying that in playoffs not everything is going to go your way you have to
overcome some things like that and I just think we weren’t able to get our game going just because of
how many times we were shorthanded today.”
MITCH MARNER
On tonight’s game:
“We took too many penalties and gave their power play so many opportunities that eventually they’re
going to score, they’ve got a lot of skill over there and a lot of guys who can make plays. We were giving
up a lot of opportunities on the power play and we just got to make sure we stay out of the box and make
sure we’re playing five-on-five.

POSTGAME QUOTES:
HEAD COACH SHELDON KEEFE
On tonight’s game and the team’s successful penalty kill:
“…We had a lot of guys that were really good today, our team played really well. Our crowd was
unbelievable tonight. I thought the crowd was the first star of the game, despite having a lot of guys that
were good. I thought that they carried us through that five-minute kill. Our players played hard, they got
life and we had some chances and the way that our crowd responded and then didn’t let up for the rest of
the game from there. I always get asked questions down the stretch of the regular season about how
important home ice was and I felt that it would be important, but I didn’t feel like it would be that important.
It’s my first playoff game coaching the Leafs with a full building here and I certainly felt, and talking to
some others who have been in the building and that have been through this, our crowd, you can feel the
love for this team and the excitement for this team and I thought they were outstanding tonight and our
team just didn’t look back.”
AUSTON MATTHEWS
On tonight’s game:
“I thought we played fast. I thought we played through the contact, we played through a long five-minute
penalty kill there. Our penalty kill was huge tonight, I think that brought us a lot of momentum. Soupy was
incredible and we were able to capitalize on some chances so I thought it was a really good effort by us.
A lot of really good things that we did tonight but it’s a series. It’s going to be a long series, it’s a really
good team on the other end and they’re going to be ready next game. Have to watch this one, learn from
it, obviously a really great win but we have to move on to the next one.”
MITCH MARNER
On tonight’s game:
“Happy with the way we just performed. Didn’t let anything really bother us. Two big penalty kills right off
the start but just from there I think the whole group settled in nicely. Felt like there wasn’t a whole lot
going on five-on-five to be honest but other than that we played our game, we played with speed, we
played with quickness and we got around the net.”
JACK CAMPBELL
On tonight’s win, earning a shutout:
“I’m just really proud of the effort in front of me. Starting off the game with a couple huge kills and boys
just played so hard. Obviously, they’re an amazing team over there, they aren’t going to be thrilled about
the game one. But that’s what it is, it’s game one of the series and we really like the way we played but
we have to refocus here.

Mark Giordano recorded a single-game season-high seven hits during tonight’s win.
At 10:01 of the second period, a video review was initiated by Washington to determine whether or not Jason Spezza’s goal was offside. Video review determined the play was offside and the call on
the ice was overturned. Result: No Goal Toronto. Explanation: Video review determined that Toronto’s Nicholas Abruzzese preceded the puck into the offensive zone and was in an off-side
position prior to Jason Spezza’s goal. According to Rule 38.9, “The standard for overturning the call in
the event of a “GOAL” call on the ice is that the NHL Situation Room, after reviewing any and all
available replays and consulting with the On-Ice Official(s), determines that one or more Players on
the attacking team preceded the puck into the attacking zone prior to the goal being scored and that,
as a result, the play should have been stopped for an “Off-Side” infraction; where this standard is
met, the goal will be disallowed.”
At 19:00 of the second period, a video review was initiated by Toronto to determine whether or not
there was a Missed Game Stoppage Event – Hand Pass on the play that led to T.J. Oshie’s goal.
Video review determined that there was a hand pass on the play and the original call was overturned.
Result: No Goal Washington. Explanation: The Situation Room determined that John Carlson
directed the puck to Nicklas Backstrom with a hand pass at 1:12 of the second period (18:48 elapsed
time) – 12 seconds prior to T.J. Oshie’s goal. The decision was made in accordance with Rule 79.

POSTGAME QUOTES:
HEAD COACH SHELDON KEEFE
On tonight’s game and the team’s comeback:
“It was a real gutsy effort and real gritty effort for the guys to find a way there. We didn’t have much today
it seemed like we were playing on fumes most of the night. So we’re encouraging the guys at 3-1 just to
not accept their fate and keep pushing and start with one, huge goal by Mikheyev gets us going there and
then the six-on-five comes through.”
On Källgren’s response tonight following his last game against Tampa Bay:
“I thought he was great. I thought the guys in front of him did a good job. I thought despite the fact that we
didn’t play well today, we didn’t manage the puck well today, you could tell we just we’re sharp. I thought
defensively we did a good job, we didn’t give up a lot of really high quality chances but the ones that we
did, especially when we had some long shifts in our end, and then of course the shootout he was
excellent. I love to see it, we talked about it the other night. It gets away on us, and him, in Tampa but you
saw enough in that first period and that was the focus, to try and build on that and be encouraged by that.
There are some of the world’s best shooters on this Washington team as well and he stood his ground so
I’m really excited that the team found a way to get a win for him.”
MARK GIORDANO
On the tough schedule leading up to tonight, the last game of the road trip:
“It definitely wasn’t our best game. We realize that, but I thought we made a huge push there towards the
end to get it tied and that’s a big win. Finding ways to win like that is really important.”
On what it says about the team to make a comeback and win the game:
“I think it says a lot. Especially being on a back-to-back with some pretty tough travel last night too. So to
be able to gut it out I thought, in the last ten minutes we obviously made a decision to make a push and it
was huge to get those goals and then push it into overtime and win in a shootout.”
JASON SPEZZA
On a gritty win from the team:
“Yeah for sure, we definitely didn’t have our best tonight, but you’re going to find yourself in those
situations. The comeback was great it shows we stuck with the game. Huge goal by Mikheyev to give us
a chance and then six-on-five good to see us execute, something we’ve been working on in practice quite
a bit and something we’re going to need.”
On Källgren’s response tonight following his last game against Tampa Bay:
“Just really proud of him. It was tough to have to keep him in there for all those goals when the game got
away from us in Tampa but was had to protect Soup and he knew that. I think he handled it really well.
Huge bounce back game for him. The saves he makes in overtime just to get us to a shootout and then
against some of the best shooters in the league and he looked real poised and calm. We had lots of
confidence playing in front of him.”
ERIK KÄLLGREN
On tonight’s game:
“It sure felt a lot better than the Tampa game.”
On how he reset after the game against Tampa Bay:
“I don’t know, just try to learn from it. That’s all you can do. I can change the past, so I just try to look at
the video and learn from some mistakes I made and get better.

POSTGAME QUOTES:
HEAD COACH SHELDON KEEFE
On how the team responded from Thursday’s loss to Tampa Bay:
“I thought our guys played hard tonight, easily could have won the game. I thought we won the first and
third periods especially. I thought they won the second period not just in the scoring but they carried play
and stuff like that but first and third period we had tons of opportunity. Against this team though, you have
to score more than two. It’s real tough to win when you only get two against them and we had more than
enough looks to have four or five, you don’t make them count and that team hangs around. That’s what
they’ve been doing all season, they find ways to win.”
AUSTON MATTHEWS
On how he felt in his return to the lineup and on tonight’s game:
“I didn’t feel too bad. I thought we created a lot, thought we had a lot of really good looks. Maybe bounces
didn’t go our way tonight but all in all felt pretty solid. It’s a game of inches out there obviously and it’s a
really good team on the other end and you know they’re never going to go away so really tight game and
I thought we did a lot of good things but definitely would have liked to see us get that extra point.”
On how the team responded from Thursday’s loss to Tampa Bay:
“Much better effort. I thought we were a lot more competitive, physical. I thought we had much more of a
purpose tonight and I think it showed but like I said dropping a point we definitely leave here with a little
bit of a sour taste in your mouth but I definitely liked our effort much better than the other night.”
MITCH MARNER
On tonight’s game:
“I thought we did good. I thought we did a pretty good job of limiting their chances off rushes. Still gave up
too many opportunities around our net. For us I think it’s just hanging onto the puck a little bit more in the
o-zone, trying to create more stuff in the o-zone, trying to hang onto it and not try and get into that rush
game.”
On Matthews’ return to the lineup:
“He looked great. He was making a lot of great plays out there. Had a lot of great opportunities. I thought
he was buzzing throughout the whole night.”
JACK CAMPBELL
On how the team responded from Thursday’s loss to Tampa Bay:
“I thought the guys responded well. Florida is played incredibly well, obviously their record speaks for
itself but I thought the guys came out and competed all night and faced some adversity and battled
through it. Obviously wanted to come away with two points and just kind of miss timed that poke check
but it is what it is and proud of the effort from the guys.”
On Matthews’ return to the lineup:
“Just loved seeing him out there with the guys competing. I know it meant a lot to him. He looks amazing
so great to see him back out there.”

POSTGAME QUOTES:
HEAD COACH SHELDON KEEFE
On if this was the bounce back game he was looking for:
“The guys were good tonight. It was more like we’ve been playing. Right from the start it was clear to me
we were more engaged here today, more engaged physically, way more pace, way more speed to our
game and then everything falls into place from there.”
AUSTON MATTHEWS
On tonight’s effort:
“Yeah absolutely. Just a full team effort, all four lines, three pairs of defence, Soupy. I just thought it was a
really complete game from everybody.”
On Bunting breaking is scoreless streak:
“It was great to see. Obviously, it’s not fun being snake bitten and he’s had a lot of opportunities over the
last couple weeks and it feels good to see that puck go in. I think it’s just going to boost his confidence
level and kind of gives you a little bit of an extra step when you breakthrough like that so it’s huge for him
and in that moment it was a big goal too.”
MICHAEL BUNTING
On if his scoreless streak was weighing on him:
“I think if anyone says it isn’t, they are probably lying. Obviously, that was in my mind a little bit but we
were winning and my line was producing and we were going really well so I couldn’t let that get in the way
of playing my game. That being said it felt good to get one tonight.”
On how he didn’t change the rest of his game despite not scoring for a period of time:
“I’ve got to stay true to myself and keep doing what has gotten me here and what kept me in the lineup
and what kept me producing throughout the year so I can’t shy away from that part of my game. I know I
can bring that side every single night, even when I’m not scoring so that’s part of my game and that’s who
I am.”
JACK CAMPBELL
On tonight’s game:
“It was a great game, the boys played great. We got a big two points and we’re back at it Saturday.”
On the collision with Tom Wilson:
“I just reached for the puck and it’s a hockey play. I met him at the All-Star game and he’s a nice guy so I
don’t think any harm was done by it and I love a little contact here and there so it’s fine.

POSTGAME QUOTES:
HEAD COACH SHELDON KEEFE
On Matthews’ 55th goal of the season, breaking the franchise record for most goals scored in a
season:
“Yeah, this is Auston’s night tonight. It’s much deserved and to finish it with an exclamation point. I think
you write it like that. It’s pretty good.”
On what he said to Matthews after scoring the goal:
“Just congratulated him. I just told him it’s a great accomplishment. The Leafs organization has been
around for a long time. A lot of great players. It’s pretty special for him to be at the top of that list.”
AUSTON MATTHEWS
On scoring his 55th goal of the season, breaking the franchise record for most goals scored in a
season:
“It felt good. A lot of emotions running through your mind and body when you see the puck go in so I don’t
really know what else to say but it’s definitely exciting and a really fun moment.”
More on breaking the record:
“I just saw the puck go in and I was just so excited honestly, there’s not really that much else to it. Gio
made a really nice pass and he put it right in my wheelhouse, so I just tried to attack the puck and I was
able to sneak it in. There was a lot of stuff going through my mind I guess.”
MORGAN RIELLY
On Matthews breaking the franchise record for most goals scored in a season:
“We’re incredibly happy for Auston. He’s a great person, the way he lives his life, the way that he leads
and the teammate that he is and how humble he is even though these accomplishments keep coming his
way. You couldn’t be happier for a guy like that. He works extremely hard, he deserves it and he’s not
done yet so it’s been cool to watch.”
On what impresses him the most about Auston:
“Well I think just how he plays every night. It’s always the same, he shows up and plays hard. He’s a dog
on the puck and when he gets chances it often ends up going in the net. He’s a pretty unique player and
like I said for all the things he’s accomplished at this point in his career, for him to be the type of person
he is and how humble he is it is truly the most impressive part.”
MITCH MARNER
On Matthews breaking Rick Vaive’s franchise record of most goals in a single season:
“It’s amazing, it’s very impressive. It’s a hard thing to score a lot of goals in this league and he’s made it
look really easy, especially over the last couple games and really couple years. It’s been a lot of fun to
watch and be on the ice for a lot of those and help him achieve that goal. He puts in a lot of work in the
summer to make sure he keeps getting better and better and it’s coming out to show every single night.”
MARK GIORDANO
On assisting on Matthews record breaking 55th goal of the season:
“It was pretty cool to be part of that tonight and for Matthews to get the winner like that, it felt right so it
was a cool game to be a part of.”
On the sequence leading to the goal:
“We had a lot of looks on the powerplay, we sort of had them hemmed in there and any time you get a
rebound or a second look you know the goalie is sort of moving around and you’re hoping to get one of
those lanes open for those seams so that you get him moving and it was obviously a great shot. I just laid
it there for him and he just pounded it.”
