"I think we did a lot of really good things tonight. The power play came up with a big goal. The way guys were committing in the defensive zone and getting on the backcheck. That's how we have to play for a full 60 minutes, and I thought we did that tonight."
"It's just urgency. Obviously, we know we've put ourselves in a tough position here, but we have to go out every night competing and battling. I thought tonight we did a great job of that."
"I think everyone's staying positive at the end of the day. This is our job and everyone knows that we need to play hard regardless of the situation. The mood around the team is positive and everyone's just focused on the next game."
