It's inexcusable to start games the way we are. It's costing us points that we need.

I can't remember a better stretch than right now, these last three games. Any time you can beat a team like Detroit, it boosts your confidence. It shows you can compete against the top teams and you deserve to be there.

Special teams let us down. You have to thrive on special teams and we didn't do it.

I understand all the little stuff I do helps our team win games and makes us so successful.

Special teams was good tonight, especially the penalty kill.

I pinched and had my stick slashed away. I tried to pick it up but you can only go fishing for so long. Playing 1-on-1 without a stick, a guy driving the net and the new rules, there's not much I can do without a stick.
