It was a first-place hockey game, that's for sure.

Things like that happen in the game. There was a battle in the corner and it escalated. You've got to do what you've got to do.

We're trying to play our style of game. We just go out every night and try to work as hard as we can and do our thing.

We have to make sure we're playing our best hockey. Every game is big now. We've just got to make sure we get better and better.

The reality is we're one game out of first place.

I don't know if there's another sport that has the parallel like getting the first goal in a hockey game. When you can score first, you can set up and play with more confidence. That worked for us tonight.
