Coach Craig Berube reflected on his team's performance following Game 4, pinpointing areas for improvement before Game 5. He acknowledged William Nylander's strong game and stressed the importance of avoiding unnecessary penalties. Berube pointed out that missed opportunities on the power play hindered their success, particularly during a critical four-minute advantage. While he recognized the good elements of the game, he highlighted the need for a more aggressive penalty kill and better forechecking. With two days off before Game 5, he believes the rest will benefit players who logged heavy minutes.
Max knows that it was not a good penalty, his emotions got too high. We want to avoid taking penalties like that. Our team doesn't want to take.
There were some opportunities where we could've finished on the power play. We had a couple of good chances during the four-minute power play that we need to capitalize on.
Overall, it was a good hockey game. We played well but didnât come out on top. We will move on from that and prepare for Game 5.
We need to tighten up our penalty kill. We have to apply more pressure on the opposition; theyâre moving the puck too easily against us.
