They Said It...
Rod Brind'Amour on the hero, Orlov...
"It's tough for him because he's used to playing a lot more of a role in terms of minutes. But the strength of our team is our back end and it's tough to find those minutes that he's used to. His value is still the same. When he's out there, we need that, [what he brought] tonight. That was his best game as a Hurricane. He did everything he needed to, had good defending, and then obviously jumped in there and made a great play. Hopefully, that helps him turn the corner and feel good about what he's doing."
Dmitry Orlov in the moments after scoring the game-deciding tally...
"We're focused on our game and how we should play. Today was a result. They didn't have a lot of shots. We played the right way. It was important to get this win before the bye week. Every point matters right now, especially with everyone in our division being so tight."
Jaccob Slavin touching on the team holding Arizona to just 11 shots, including zero in the third period...
"I wouldn't say it's just our defense, it's a full five-man effort out there. All around the ice, forwards, being good on the forecheck and keeping them out of our zone and then backtracking really hard. That helps us be able to stay off of [defending]. It's something we've always talked about here, limiting their chances. When you limit them to that many shots, it's always going to help your chances."
