On Auston Matthews’ return to the lineup:
He was solid. That line was really good, obviously. Overall, I thought he played a pretty good game.
I thought he was very smart tonight. He didn’t overexert himself or put himself in tough spots.
We managed his minutes pretty well, I thought. I used him a little more at the end of the game, obviously, but it kind of got to that point.
On the importance of keeping Matthews feeling as healthy and fresh as he looked in this game:
We definitely have to manage him and get him to a point where he is fully healthy.
