They Said It...
Rod Brind'Amour giving his assessment of what made it so difficult to score tonight...
"They were blocking a lot of shots. They did a nice job of protecting the front of their net. When they didn't, their goalie made a few nice saves to keep us chasing the game. They made a couple of nice plays on their goals and then they hunkered down. We played a fairly decent game. It was consistent and hard, we just weren't able to get one."
Sebastian Aho sharing his thoughts...
"We've got to find a way to win these tight ones. Everyone battled out there and the effort was there, but at the same time, it doesn't matter what the effort is if we score zero goals and don't win games. We've got to get better in many ways. Good thing we go home now and hopefully, we'll play well in front of our own fans."
Jaccob Slavin on what needs to change with the penalty kill, after allowing another power play goal tonight...
"Execution is the biggest thing. We know our structure. Our structure works. We know that it can work, we just have to do it better. That's what it comes down to."
