“It was a big two points. I thought everybody played really well, and personally, I got a couple of bounces early, which always helps. It was a fun game.”

“I’ve grown to like back-to-backs this year. There’s something about them where I feel on right away, and tonight that was the case.”

“Get him the puck. When you see him playing the way he was tonight and most of the season, you want to get it to him. He makes things happen that not many others can.”

“We knew we had to bounce back from the last game. Back-to-backs aren’t always easy, especially against a team like San Jose that’s fighting for the playoffs. It’s a good win for us to sit on for a few days.”

“He’s the best player in the league, and he’s the fastest. If you don’t slow him down or get in his way, he’s just going to skate by you. You’ve seen it his whole career.

“I loved watching it when I was a fan, but it’s pretty frustrating when you’re playing against it.”

“There are a lot of great players in this league, and he’s right up there at the very top. I prefer him on my left side at the Olympics than going against him.”

“We had him checked out in the training room and felt it was best not to push it and risk making it worse. That’s when we decided Jarry would go in.”

“I thought our team defended really well. Jarry made a couple of saves when needed, and I liked how we responded.”

“This time of year, you’ve got to play simple, direct hockey, especially in the offensive zone. We haven’t been consistent enough with that.”
