Postgame Quotes
Anaheim Ducks
Jakob Silfverberg
On his three-point performance
Two goals and an assist. It's a good night. Our line started moving our feet and making some plays in the third period. We played really good. That's how we have to continue to play.
On the win
Tough start. First period wasn't good, but we controlled the last two. It's a big win for us especially going on this long road trip.
Cam Fowler
On the win
A win's a win no matter how you get it. First period was a little bit sloppy. We gave them some momentum in the game, but I liked our game in the second and third periods. We got the win and that's all that matters heading into the road trip.
On setting a career high in goals
It's exciting. As players, you want to keep improving and building on previous seasons. It was a meaningless goal at the end of the game, but it helped me pass my career high. I'm excited about that.
Korbinian Holzer
On if he remembers his last goal (100 games ago)
I remember. It's been a while. I remember both of them before that. It's a good feeling to get the monkey off my back. I'm probably not going to turn into a goal scorer, but it's nice for me. I'm happy I can help the team win.
Head Coach Randy Carlyle
On Silfverberg's performance
Along with being a responsible defensive player, he finds a way to make a contribution on the offensive side. It was a welcome addition to our hockey club because we haven't really scored a lot of 5-on-5 goals.
On beating teams beneath them in the standings
You have to win no matter who you play. If you're going to be a top team, you're going to have to win your share of games. You can't give points away. It's a vast importance to win your home games. Your home record has to be strong. We want to make this a tough place to come into.
Colorado Avalancge
Carl Soderberg
On tonight's game
We had a pretty good start to the game, but they got the first goal and we kind of lost our game.
Head Coach Jared Bednar
On tonight's game
I liked our first period. I thought we were on our toes. I thought we were the better team in the first and earned some of those power-play chances. We created a couple good looks at the net, a couple good opportunities. We even snuck a couple through them throughout the course of the game, but unfortunately we didn't capitalize on them. They were the better team in the second period, no question about it, and we got a little loose defensively. They capitalize on their chances. The third period turns into a run-and-gun and that's really not going to turn out well for us against a team like that tonight. When you give them an odd-man rush coming one way, they make plays and put it in the back of the net.
On Calvin Pickard's confidence in net
We will look at the game with him and talk to him about it and see how he's feeling. It's no different than any other player that we have right now. You have to find a way to put it behind you and try to keep battling. Find something to build on. It starts with a good work ethic at practice and taking it into the game and just concentrating on what his job is, instead of what everyone else's is.
