DECEMBER SCHEDULE:
QUOTES TO NOTE:
It’s the way they play, 1-3-1, it’s not pretty to look at. We experienced it last year.
But they got the win. It is a team where you have to be really smart with the puck.
- Henrik Lundqvist

- Henrik Lundqvist
Obviously we wanted to come in here and get a win against a team that has been struggling, on a back-to-back.
It’s frustrating not to be able to do that. We just kind of got ourselves in a hole and weren’t able to dig ourselves out.

- Marc Staal
I think it had more to do with execution than confidence.
We gave up an early goal in the first, we gave up an early goal in the third.
