COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Mike Sullivan isn't exactly big on bombast.
And yet, when he strode into the visitors' locker room Sunday night at Nationwide Arena, with his team down a goal at the second intermission, he shared with his players a strikingly specific, semi-bold prediction about what was still to come.
As Sullivan would later recall, "We felt like our power play had a lot of really good looks and that, if we were going to get another one, we felt like we were going to score. I actually said that to them after the second period.
