"I felt like just seeing him here with his wife and showing up with a big smile on their face. With everything they've been through, and it's really hard for them. Seeing that kind of positivity for us, that's really huge for us. And this win is really for him. He's going to be here for four more games so we're going to try and keep it going," said Antoine Roussel, who netted his first career hat trick in the game.
When the game ended on Benn's winner in OT, the captain led the team over to the booth-side of the ice and led a sticks-up salute to Strader.
