It's not anything serious. It's a lower body injury and he's in therapy right now.

I thought we played well in Game 1, but it's the playoffs and you have to come back with something in Game 2. We didn't and that's disappointing. That's why it's a seven-game series.

The way he played the last five games of the season and the first four games of the playoffs, we made our decision based on that. We have the depth at forward that we can afford to keep him back there . . . He's doing a great job for us and gives us some depth at our back end.

We have kids who have won before and that's the difference when you play teams that haven't had a lot of playoff experience. Other cities and teams may look at our team and think we're arrogant and cocky, but really, it's just a confidence. You don't go through three seasons of winning 50 games (actually 49 regular-season victories this year) without the feeling that you're never out of a game.

Trevor is so good defensively and we like the decisions he's making back there. It's still an experiment, but he gives us that 20-year-old strength on the puck that some of the younger guys don't have yet.

That's part of being a rookie and growing up as a player. You don't get your proper rest (on a five-hour train ride), but we want him to play as much as possible.
