“We talk about being a good team and I thought all four lines and all six defencemen contributed, and our goaltender played well. That’s what we need against this team to play a good team game. I think it’s good to be able to get some scoring throughout the lineup.

“That gives you a competitive advantage.”

“It felt good, I thought we were playing some solid hockey. It was a tight game, obviously, 2-2 after the first, I felt like we were both exchanging chances. But then we took over a bit there in the second and felt like we were in a good position.”

“I think the tide changed in the first period by taking three penalties in the offensive zone. I thought we had a pretty good period. We had two even-strength goals, and then we took three penalties in the offensive zone, which led to two goals against. I think that was a big turning point for us on this homestand.”

“It’s tough. The chances we are giving up, some of the shots, they’re tough. It’s a lot of Grade As, a lot of breakdowns. So, I think it’s tough to really think about game at this point. It’s a whole team game.

“It’s just the bounces that went in. The fourth goal, just an unlucky bounce off our defenseman, off the end wall and straight back to [Hughes]. It’s things like that that just went wrong tonight, and they were on the better side of it.”
