Just shoot the puck whenever you get a chance. It's been my motto for 10 years.

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.

Once you have a lead, anything can still happen. We were still hitting out there, still skating. I think we took too many penalties, and that's something we have to work on, but it was nice to see us get back to form.

We had a tendency on the road to sit back and see what happens but tonight we did the little things right.

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.
