[FIELDSET="QUOTES TO NOTE"]
Hank was our best player. He played really well for us.
They had numerous chances, and we were a little bit nervous there in the third period.
- Mats Zuccarello

- Mats Zuccarello
Sometimes it's a good thing to get a lot of work.
There's been a lot of games where I've been waiting for shots, and then there's been some odd-man rushes or breakaways, and it's been hard to really get the game going.
A game like this definitely helps you to work on your positioning and a lot of different things, so I'm pleased with the win and the way I played.
- Henrik Lundqvist
Zucc and Pouliot were having a real hard time with their game earlier in the season. Both sat out, both didn't complain to the world about being sat out.
What they did was they rolled their sleeves and they got to work. They analyzed their game and found a way to get back on track.
They are very useful players to our team right now.
