<p><em>On Rasmus Andersson&#8217;s ejection for his fight with John Klingberg</em>: &#8220;I didn&#8217;t like the calls on that. Usually there&#8217;s an instigator and then&#8230; That&#8217;s separate. That&#8217;s the second altercation. It is what it is. You know the rule.&#8221;</p>
<p><em>On if they dealt with the second period well: </em>&#8220;Yeah, we did. we were down to five D and one defenceman kills a lot of penalties and plays the power play. He&#8217;s our best defenceman. So take him out. So yeah, we did.&#8221;</p>

<p><em>On playing in more close games in the series going forward:</em> &#8220;It&#8217;s gonna be a tough series and very, very good chance there&#8217;s going to be more games like that They were one shot away.

And obviously Marky played stellar.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Elias Lindholm</strong></p>
<p><em>On the special teams performance in Game 1: </em>&#8220;To be honest, I don&#8217;t think we had a lot of shots. We need more shots. Didn&#8217;t have a lot of looks. But obviously nice to put one in, and I thought our PK played real well.&#8221;</p>

<p><em>On weathering a lot of special teams play:</em> &#8220;Yeah, you know, I think our kill came up big when they needed to. I think the power play gave us enough, they gave us the lone goal of the game. Special teams are really important this time of year. Game 1 we won the special teams battle. But like I said, you don&#8217;t want to turn it into a special teams series. I think we like our game five-on-five. I think we can play with the best of them five-on-five, so we gotta be disciplined. We gotta make sure we don&#8217;t give teams a way to pick up momentum in games.&#8221;</p>
