[FIELDSET="QUOTES TO NOTE"]
You never want to give up a goal late in a 3rd period. I think as a group we knew there was nothing we could do about it. They weren't going to change the call.
As a group, you just try to move on from it and try to rebound as fast as you can.
- Derek Stepan

We deserved to win the game, and to get a goal like that against us could have really hurt us.
But we kind of let it go, pushed forward and got the eventual game winner.
- Cam Talbot
Miller has been good and effective. The time he's been on the ice, he's been dependable.
Maybe it's him playing his natural position, but he's done some real good things for us. He's progressing as a player.
