An already injury-riddled line-up for the Blue Jackets tonight took another hit when Sonny Milano left the game with an upper body injury.
But they still pulled off an exciting comeback win in overtime, 3-2 over the Maple Leafs.
Here is the reaction from John Tortorella and Nick Foligno inside the locker room.
John Tortorella
On the game: "We find ourselves down 2-0, and I thought we were playing pretty well. I really appreciate and respect, our guys just stayed with it, and [Sergei Bobrovsky] was fantastic in the third period keeping it there. Y'know we found a way."
On Jordan Schroeder: "He sparked us. His speed, and kind of bounced him around on different lines, sealed in with that line there."
On the game winning goal: "I thought Zach [Werenski] fought the puck in the third period, but makes a hell of a pass there on the winning goal."
On the feelings on the bench while being severely outshot to start the final period: "We knew if we score one, somehow, that it changes the complexion.
"I really respect how they kept their head up, and kept on playing."
On the strategy of when they play Bobrovsky: "I don't buy into the back-to-back stuff. We found with Bob, we gave him three or four days rest, we felt he struggled for a little bit. We call 'em as we see 'em."
On Pierre-Luc Dubois and his success as a young player: "The thing I'm surprised most about him is just his lack of fear, as far as situations thrown at him. 'Cause the first camp, he was overwhelmed.
"He simply plays, he's not afraid of anything. He was checked hard tonight."
On Artemi Panarin: "I think he's had problems finding the back of the net, but he has played a lot of good minutes each and every game here."
Nick Foligno
On generating traffic in front of the net: "I thought for the most part tonight we did a lot of good things around that net. Anderson played really well for them all game long, so it was nice to find a way to get three past him and win the hockey game."
On getting a win in a tight game like this: "These are sometimes described as the dog days of the season where it's right in between that break that you get from Christmas and the all-star break, or even up until the trade deadline where games are a grind. Every team's jawing for position, and we gotta find a way to take 'em any way we can get 'em."
