POSTGAME QUOTES
McLellan on Postava making his NHL debut
“That’s not the way we planned it. Even with (Gibson), I didn’t find out until about 10 minutes left in the intermission that this was going on. He had something in his eye. They’re still looking at it. So, the EBUG’s dressing, Michal’s told he’s going to play and away he goes. So, did a real good job. Happy for him, and congratulations – you’re in the NHL now.”
McLellan on goalie Daniil Tarasov’s status
“He is day-to-day. We anticipated it may be a little bit longer this morning, and that’s why he’s not on IR. (Postava) was coming anyhow. We’ll see how he is tomorrow.”
McLellan on the youngsters continuing to make an impact
“It’s been built through the Draft, and at some point you have to harvest your fruit a little bit. The young guys are contributing. They’re playing well on both sides of the puck, which is important. But it’s still early in the year. They have to continue to grow, and I think there’s a lot of runway for all of them.”
Raymond on if the floodgates are opening for him now
“It’s obviously nice, right? For me as a player and the team, but I think you got to look at the process more.”
Brandsegg Nygård on what stood out to him from Thursday’s win
“I think we had a gameplan… We had a couple of good bounces in the beginning and our momentum from that was good. We didn’t let off the gas.”
Postava on when he learned he might be getting into the action
“Right after the second period, they just told me (Gibson) had some problem with his eye. They told me just warm up and be ready if I go in.”
