“We’re unfortunate to only score one goal in the last two games. It’s not that we’re sitting back and not getting chances. We’ve had some. We’ve seen two really good goaltending performances both these nights.

“You need to score goals to win games, but this group has done a good job generating chances. We just have to put them away.”

“I don’t really know what I’m doing out there, just trying to stop the puck. You’ve got to find the save somewhere.

“This is when you want to hit your peak and I think we’re hitting our stride a little bit here. Just sticking with it. We went on that stretch a couple of games ago with five in a row and that’s the kind of hockey we need to play. As long as we keep doing what we’re doing we’ll be just fine.”

“With the lineup we have right now, we’ve got to find ways to score more goals. Obviously we’ve got some guys out, but every team does and we have to deal with injuries. That’s part of it. I think we’ve got a strong lineup in here that can all score goals, and it’s just been a little bit of a slump these last two games.

“As long as we take care of the defensive side, we’re still in games, and we have been in both of these. You’ve got to keep building. Playoff hockey is different than the regular season in that sense.”

“Forget about the standings, it still matters. Winning and losing matters and the group in the room did a good job getting ready to play. Wedgewood was good, he was rock solid all the way through. I thought he did a really nice job for us. It’s a continuation of what he’s done throughout the season.

“It’s Game 81, so everybody knows what they’re doing and how we’re going to go about our business. It’ll be nice to get Bednar back as soon as possible.”

“I think maybe at times you can be a little lazy in these games with nothing to play for, with your habits and details. Guys might play on the conservative side with shot blocks and things like that, but it didn’t feel that way on my end. They were still closing gaps on guys, not letting them tee up one-timers and just doing the right detailed things to prevent scoring chances.

“They’re going to play a tight defensive game and they’re fighting for points. To come away with two is obviously a nice bonus near the end here.”
