2-1

Matt Coronato on gelling with Backlund and Coleman:

"I think every game it’s getting better. I’ve said it before, but they’re easy to play with and they’ve done a great job making me feel comfortable, and fitting in with them."

On facing the Islanders for the first time in his career:

"It’s definitely cool, it’s an exciting night for me. I grew up watching the Islanders all the time, so it’ll be fun to play against them."

"They’ve done a great job making me feel comfortable"

Daniil Miromanov on how his game is progressing:

"I’m kind of just getting back to my game, being really active, using my size, jumping (up) in the rush. I’m good when I try to do things offensively, and that translates to my D-zone. I feel like we’ve been doing a great job with Weegsy in the D-zone, so we’ve just got to keep going."

On finding his identity as an NHLer:

"It takes a little bit of time to understand who you are, and what you can do the best to help the team win. I feel like that’s the most important thing, is the team, you know, we’re trying to win. It’s trying to figure out what you can do the best to win."

Ryan Huska on starting Wolf in goal again tonight:

"Yup, because we set the precedent before. He’s deserving of another opportunity today, for sure."

On Coronato's maturation alongside Backlund and Coleman:

"I think there’s been growth in many different areas of his game. He still has a lot of swagger offensively, with the puck. But I think now, with where we’re using him, there’s even more of a belief that he can impact the game in different ways. At key times of the game, Mikael and Blake are on the ice, so that means he’s being put out there, but he’s not just, ‘He’s on that line, let’s keep him there.’ He’s out there because he’s done a really good job, and he’s kinda earned that bit of extra ice time. We’re really happy with how he’s coming along."
