DECEMBER SCHEDULE:
QUOTES TO NOTE:
Last two games are a reminder for us how hard we have to work and how well we have to play to get points.
We’re one of those teams that’s going to battle to get in to the playoffs, so we need our best effort every night to have a chance.
We came up a little short here against a really skilled team.
- Henrik Lundqvist

It’s a sour feeling.
We had a tough game against the Devils where we didn’t have a great effort collectively, and tonight it was just so-so at times.

We wanted to win. We didn't win, so we get three days.
It's Christmas for everybody. I want the guys to relax and enjoy it and we'll get ready for the game on the 27th.
