I think I bring solid defensive play. I want to get on the ice, keep it simple and make sure they don't bring any chances.

I kind of wasn't really expecting it (the award) before the game or even after the game. It's a pretty big honor.

We didn't prepare the way we should have. It's more individual preparation, what guys need to do on the ice and not getting too relaxed out there and making sure you make the right plays when you have to.

Anytime you see a player accidentally make a play like that, you want to pick him up.

It's nice to do it in this place, where it's very difficult to play.

It was a tough game (Wednesday) coming off the one we had (Tuesday), actually getting up and having to play. We got some timely hits to get ahead.
