<p><em>On the win:</em> &#8220;Played good&#8230; It&#8217;s a hard game to play. Clinched a playoff spot two nights ago, travelled all day yesterday. It&#8217;s a hard game to play. It&#8217;s a game where the kids on the other sides are going to come out and try to show their worth, and they did.&#8221;</p>
<p><em>On Jacob Markstrom&#8217;s performance</em>: &#8220;Made more big saves than one bad save, that&#8217;s for sure. He made a lot of big saves. 88 and 12 were hopping out there for the other team.&#8221;</p>
<p><em>On the performance of the line of Dillon Dube, Calle Jarnkrok and Blake Coleman</em>: &#8220;They give us some energy and they&#8217;re persistent players. I think it&#8217;s good for Dillon to play with Blake right now. I think he&#8217;s got lots of cleaning up to do in his game.&#8221;</p>

<p><em>On how the game unfolded</em>: &#8220;I thought we had a good first period, obviously. Quick couple goals there. I think we could&#8217;ve had a few more. I think their goalie played pretty well there in the first, helped them stick around a little bit. And then in the second, kind of let our foot off the gas and in the third they kind of pushed us back a little bit. But we stuck with it and got the win.&#8221;</p>
