DECEMBER SCHEDULE:
QUOTES TO NOTE:
I think the last month and a half I’ve been feeling really good.
I feel like the team is playing really well and that’s helpful.
- Henrik Lundqvist

- Henrik Lundqvist
We’re focusing on getting five guys back to the house, so there may be more shots coming from the outside.
But I don’t think we’re giving up as many Grade-A chances as we did at the start of the year.
There might be more shots, but the quality isn’t as good.

When we win, it's team-oriented.
It's because contributions are from throughout the lineup, whether it be a blocked shot, making a play or a save.
You look at the way our minutes are spread out, it's a team-thing and that's how we're going to continue to win.
