On what he liked about the effort tonight:
I just really liked the effort of our guys. Even though we were playing against a lot of their players over there, the guys just dug in. We got things to go our way early in the game. It gave us some confidence as we built the lead.
Ottawa pushed back, as we expected that they would. They scored the goal and got a power-play goal to make it 3-2, but I thought our guys in the second period just really kept playing. We had a lot of really good chances.
