Tonight I was extremely happy with our penalty killing. I thought Marc-Andre played extremely well. I liked the way our power play started but I didn't like the way it finished.

There's a lot more structure in penalty-killing.

The guys played as gutsy a game as you can coming off a long trip and found a way to get it done the other night. It is disappointing to know we can play like that and then not have it tonight. ... It's going to be a long 48 hours before we play Monday night.

I like the way he played. He has acceleration on-ice presence, he finds the holes, picks his spots and darts to them. He has speed and skill.

Instead of being proactive, we were reactive. I'm not sure if we came into this game obviously having [too much] respect for the Red Wings. Certainly, standing and watching didn't help.

I just know he had a stomach virus or flu symptoms last week and sometimes those things stick with you. And when you try to work through them and play at the level that he expects to play at, sometimes you don't let yourself get back (to being) completely healthy.
