On his team’s overall effort:
I thought it was a good effort by all of our defensemen tonight. I liked a lot of what our whole lineup did. Each line gave us good shifts and good efforts. I loved our second period and how we took care of that and got the 3-1 lead. I thought we were in full control the second half of that second period, which is really good.
The third period wasn’t perfect in terms of controlling play. We’d like to spend more time in their zone like we did in the second, but I thought there was progress and we defended really well.
