Among the players invited to dish out their thoughts on some opposing teams included Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner, William Nylander, John Tavares, and Max Domi. They were asked about several topics, ranging from which city has the best restaurants to which team they scored the most against.

Earlier at training camp, Nylander expressed his desire to play centre for an extended period before a decision was made on the experiment.

No hard feelings, to be sure, from Nylander toward teammate Nick Robertson, whose intentions were good when he tried to give Nylander a helpful push with his stick on the backcheck. Nylander fell forward, striking his head and neck on the leg of Canadiens forward Christian Dvorak at the Leafs blue line.
