Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill are joined by Jacob Quillan fresh off his first taste of NHL action to close out the season with the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Quillan kicks things off by previewing the start of the Calder Cup Playoffs and Toronto’s best-of-three matchup against the Rochester Americans, sharing his excitement level heading into the postseason. He then reflects on how his stint with the Leafs has boosted his confidence and how that experience carries into playoff hockey.
From there, Quillan breaks down the jump from the American Hockey League to the National Hockey League, reveals the “sickest” part about being in the show, and credits Scott Laughton as a key glue guy who helped make the transition smoother.
He also dives into the story behind his first NHL goal—finally getting it in game No. 22—while sharing what stood out most during his time at the top level and what areas he’s focused on improving moving forward.
To wrap things up, Quillan gives high praise to a pair of rising netminders, Dennis Hildeby and Artur Akhtyamov, offering insight into their games and why he believes both have bright futures ahead.
