Morgan Rielly gets vote of confidence from Leafs coach Craig Berube

For Toronto Maple Leafs veteran defenceman Morgan Rielly, Saturday night's performance against the New York Islanders was one to forget.

Rielly, who at 31 years of age, in his 13th season with the Leafs, has had a rather inconsistent season. Things didn't get any better on Saturday when at UBS Arena, during a 4-3 OT loss against the New York Islanders, Rielly played 27:31, where he had one shot on goal, two hits, along with committing two giveaways and finishing with a plus/minus of -4.

Despite Rielly now being a -15 on the season, Leafs coach Craig Berube reaffirmed his confidence in the defenceman who also happens to be the most senior tenured player on the team.
