SAY WHAT: 'WE STUCK WITH IT'

JOHNNY GAUDREAU ON MILESTONE NIGHT:

ON MATTHEW TKACHUK APPROACHING 100:

"He's a really good player. Really smart, sees the ice well. He's really good in front of the net and down low. Lindy, pretty much the same type of player - really good in his own zone and has a really good shot. We like playing with each other. We feel really comfortable on the ice and it's been a lot of fun this year playing with those two."

ON TOP-LINE CHEMISTRY:

"As an example: Tonight, I just took off and had a little breakaway there, but I saw Lindy cheating to get the puck on the rim. He sent it up to Chucky and we're kind of reading off each other really well. As soon as I see Lindy get the puck, I take off. And Chucky's got eyes in the back of his head, too, and he sees me taking off. He catches it on his backend, zips up to me and... I miss (laughs). Other than that, it's a good combo."

ON GETTING THE WIN:

"We had a good first period. Obviously, a quick couple goals there. I think we could have had a few more, but their goalie played pretty well there in the first and helped them stick around a little bit. In the second, we kind of let our foot off the gas and in the third, they pushed back us back a little bit. But we stuck with it and got the win."

JACOB MARKSTROM ON HIS NIGHT:

"Really good game. I thought obviously the start is something we've been talking a lot about and I thought we were ready to go right off the hop. As a goalie, when you score a few goals, it's nice. You know it's not a 0-0 game and it's always easier to play with the lead, and I thought we've been great doing that all year. I enjoy not having too many shots because that means we're in the other end. The guys have been great all year with O zone time and we've got to keep it going."

DARRYL SUTTER ON HOW IT PLAYED OUT:

"It was a hard game to play. You clinch a playoff spot two nights ago, travel all day yesterday. It was a hard game to play. It's a game where the kids on the other side are going to try and come out and show their worth, and they did."

ON MARKSTROM'S NIGHT:

"He had more big saves than one bad save, for sure. 88 and 12 were hopping out there for the other team."

ON THE DUBE-JARNKROK-COLEMAN LINE:

"Give us some energy. (They're) persistent players. I think it's good for Dillon to play with Blake right now. I think he's got lots of cleaning up to do in his game."
