You’ve spoken last season and this season about how the young guys are making you veterans better. What’s it like to get a chance to play with Mitch tonight here against Ottawa?

Brooks Laich: I’m very excited. I saw a lot of what he did last year. I watched him closely, watched his game. I’ve been fortunate enough now to get to know him and play alongside him in the first couple of practices in training camp. He’s very calm and very poised with the puck. He makes nice, small players in tight, in traffic.
