"With an early game, it will get everyone going in the building on both benches," Ferland said, before turning to his daughter, Brynlee, who he was holding in his right arm. "Did you see daddy's fight? You don't like when daddy fights, though, eh?"
"Be ready, right on time. Ferls, he was ready. You could tell," Aho said. "He showed all of us that we've got to be ready early in the game."
"That's old school, right there," Brind'Amour said. "He's been really good these last few games. I think that really just set the tone for our group."

Justin Williams extended his goal streak to five games (6g), equaling a career-long, and his point streak to seven (6g, 1a) with a pinball power-play tally in the second period that stretched the Canes' lead to four.
The sequence began with a one-timer off Aho's stick that was blocked by Watson. The puck deflected over to Ferland in the slot, and he bumped it ahead with his right leg. Williams whacked at the puck with a backhand that bounced in off the skate of Mattias Ekholm and chased Rinne from the crease.
