On the team’s performance:
We talked about playing really good defense tonight and keeping it tight. I thought our team did that. We helped our D out. I thought we didn’t spend much time in our defensive zone. There was nothing off the rush. The forwards did a really good job of getting above people tonight, and I thought our D were really good.
On whether a situation like having five defensemen heightens the players’ focus on the details in their game:
We talked from the morning on about how we needed to play this game tonight, protect our defense, and avoid extended zone time.
