DARRYL SUTTER ON THE DUCKS:

ERIK GUDBRANSON ON THIRD PERIODS:

"We've got to get comfortable when a team is trying to stretch you out to create offence and take more risks. They applied a good amount of pressure on us the last 10 minutes and created some good opportunities, but we weathered it and Marky made some huge saves. For the remainder of the season and towards the end of it, those are the opportunities you get to get comfortable with defending and holding on to those leads in the third period. We got it done. There are a few things we need to do better, but we got it done."

BLAKE COLEMAN ON HIS SEASON:

"I definitely have higher expectations of where I should be in (the pointd) department, I guess. But, you know, at the same time, I just want to win games and the team's been doing that and I've found different ways to contribute. You want to help offensively and it's been part of my game my whole career, is finishing off plays. Typically I keep my focus on creating the opportunities and creating the chances, and typically they seem to follow when that happens. It's kind of been a bit of a miss lately as far as that - I feel like I've had a ton of opportunities, created a lot of offensive opportunities, just haven't been able to put them away and haven't been able to make that last play to finish. It's one of those things that's kind of come in waves in my career. I usually get hot and stay hot for a little bit and then I have little spells like this. I've just got to work my way out of that. But fortunately the team's been winning and that's most important and I do try to focus on other parts of my game when the puck's not going in for me, whether it's being physical or on the penalty-kill, just making simple plays to get the puck out of the zone, stuff like that. Not always real glamorous but I'm not overly concerned about the production in the sense that I know what I'm capable of and so does the team, and I know it will come."

ON LINEMATE ANDREW MANGIAPANE:

"Mang has been great all year for us. Obviously on the road, he's kind of superhuman right now. I've got two great linemates, easy guys to play with - they play both sides of the puck. He's got, what? Fifteen, sixteen goals? That's a good year for most people. But yeah, it's been fun and like you said, I feel like I've been able to make little plays and get the pucks up the ice. He's got that touch right now. I think it's one of those things where if you're coming into the zone, you're looking for him right now because he's finishing off plays and he's playing with a ton of confidence and it's great to see him get rewarded. Obviously he's starting to make a big-time name for himself and I'm just happy to be a part of it. And I think he would agree with me that, most importantly, we're winning games and he's been a big part of that."
