On the team’s effort against a Red Wings lineup with far more NHL regulars:
I thought they did great. I obviously loved the way they started. Lots of the second period was very good for us. It was good. In the end, it is probably a little bit too much to play a full 60 minutes against a group like that.
The guys did what we asked of them today. They gave us everything they had. I thought, all things considered, it was a really nice showing by them.
On Rasmus Sandin’s preseason debut:
I thought he looked good.
