QUOTABLE

Jeff Blashill on what what he saw in the second period
"We gave up too many easy chances on a couple mistakes. The second you don't do that right against this team, they're getting a chance. We had some 50-50 pucks on the wall that we didn't reload back above, so it was a bit of an outnumbered rush."
Dylan Larkin on the Red Wings' start to Sunday's contest
"We had a good start, Ned played well and then they just scored. We didn't respond."
