Head Coach Joel Quenneville
“The outcome wasn’t what we looked for, we had the perfect start and then we started chasing the game. We’re working, we were doing a lot of good things.”
“We’re going back home and taking Monday as one game. Don’t look at anything bigger than that, get some excitement out of that.”
Forward Sam Bennett
“You’ve just got to move on. It’s a quick turnaround. We’ve got a chance to play on home ice and win on home ice. That’s all we can do.”
Forward Aleksander Barkov
“We’re going back home, just forget about this one… We’ve got to find a way to eliminate those (chances). Go home, play in front of our own fans, get excited and play the right way for 60 minutes.

“We want to go home and play our best game in front of our fans, give them something to cheer for…This series is not over obviously. We’re looking forward to coming back home.”
