Notes:

- Dan Vladar made 29 saves and Martin Jones made 23 saves

- Auston Matthews leads the league not only with four hat tricks but also with 37 goals



"I thought we did a good job defending and Jones came up with some big saves too - I don't think the first period start was very good. I thought we were a little bit sluggish, and obviously, they come out pretty hot and score two. So I thought just to cut it to one for the second and just get into the locker room, regroup, take a deep breath, and get back out there and play. That's exactly what we did." Auston Matthews met with the media after Toronto's 4-3 victory against the Flames.
