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

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

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.
