Sheldon Keefe: “We trust our bench, but I think they all recognize the difference makers and the fact that they have to be out there… When they are fresh and ready and the game allows us to, we are going to get them onto the ice as much as we can”

Your special teams since you’ve been here — are they an indication of the consistency you’d like to see out of the club?

Keefe: The special teams are a crucial part of the game, of course, so it has been an area where we have put a lot of focus and attention on. Still, it’s a pretty small sample here in terms of the success that we’ve had, but we want to see that continue to progress. We want to be on the power play more than we have as well and continue to get the penalty kills that we’ve had, especially at key times.
