Bergevin on the performance of his key players recently:
Coming back from the pause related to COVID-19, we had two good games before we started to struggle. We aren't happy about it. I expect a lot from our team in the 17 games we have left. I'd like to see more consistency in our game.
Bergevin on defenseman Victor Mete being claimed off waivers by Ottawa:
I wish Victor the best of luck with the Senators. He's a good person. I saw that we needed a change. There's always a risk that you're going to lose a player when you put them on waivers. We wish him the best, but we're comfortable with the players we have right now on the back end.
