On the importance of this response effort coming off of the 9-3 loss in Buffalo:
It was good. We wanted to go into the break feeling good, especially with how things went the other night. I was happy with how the guys responded.
On the ability to force turnovers out of the Blue Jackets up the ice:
It was just the way we worked. We wanted to stay on the hunt and make it harder on them to get out of their zone.
We saw a little bit late in the game that they do a tremendous job of generating speed and coming at you with lots of skill.
