“ We never stopped grinding, that's when you know sooner or later that puck is going to go in. We were in their zone so much. ”
- Carl Hagelin
“ It's a good faceoff win and three great passes (on game-winning power play goal), even (Rick) Nash's spin-o-rama at the blueline was a great pass. It was good for our power play. I think we did a lot of good things. ”
- Derek Stepan
“ It's weird how the score was with how we played. It wasn't exactly reflective of how the game was going, but that's how the game works sometimes. We said to just stick to our game in here, not hurt ourselves and we'll come out of this game with two points, and we did so. ”
- Michael Del Zotto
