They Said It…
Nikolaj Ehlers giving a period-by-period breakdown after the victory…
“The first and second were great. The third, the start was okay, and then the last 10-12 minutes, was not how we’re looking to play. We’ve got a new game tomorrow, and we’ll start the way we started today.”
Brandon Bussi following his sixth consecutive win…
“My job is to stop the puck as much as I can. I made enough (saves) early to get us some momentum and put the puck in the net. In the third period, we probably need to clean it up a little bit, but we’d built a big enough lead that it didn’t matter.”
Jackson Blake after the power play’s first multi-goal game of the season…
“It’s always good when you score. I think we knew that they were going to be pretty aggressive on their kill. You’ve just got to find a way to break that and use the guy in the middle. I think we did a decent job of that tonight. Obviously, getting those goals was huge, and I think we could even generate more as a power play and be better. But, I mean, you can’t complain when you’re scoring, so I liked it tonight.”
Rod Brind’Amour on Jackson Blake’s night…
“When you’re creating offense, it’s going to come. Tonight, it kind of came all at once, but Blaker especially had a really solid game tonight. Obviously, it took a few really good individual efforts to put us on the board. It was a weird game. We got ahead, then you can throw the last half of the game out. But I thought we were pretty good in the first half of the game.”
