My job is to get open ... hit the holes, the quiet areas and lull them to sleep. But you can't do that unless you're playing with two guys that are great with the puck.

Special teams was huge for us. We worked on the power play a little bit this morning because we realized that was going to be a big focal point in the game, and the special teams battle ended up being what tipped the scales for us tonight.

We were able to match their intensity early and we got some big chances late.

We're a struggling team, too. We're not taking them for granted. They've got a lot of young hungry players trying to establish themselves in the NHL. These are two points we have to have. We can't afford to come in here and look at their record and think these are an easy two points.
