After the game, Craig Berube said that John Tavares will be fine after going off the ice in overtime. Like Matthew Knies, Berube said that his team had looks on the power play but couldn’t get a bounce.

On the difference of tonight’s game: “Special teams,” Berube said.

In this “Core Four” era, the Maple Leafs have struggled to win series-clinching games. Berube said that he liked a lot of things his team did, including not allowing Ottawa to have a lot of shots (four shots in 40 minutes). He also liked Anthony Stolarz.

“He was solid,” Berube said of his goaltender.
