It?s great to see him get some scoring chances and make the most of him. He?s played hard, and you like to see guys get rewarded when they do that.

More Gerard Gallant on Wikipedia.Coming in here and winning the sixth game is tough. We have had a bad record here this season.
He had a real tough year at the start with all of the injuries he had. I think he's rounding into top shape right now. It's nice to see his complete game.
We showed our character coming back. I wish we'd won tonight to make it seven games, but we got the next best thing.
I think we made a couple of dumb plays that cost us. We were within a goal twice and we gambled a couple of times on the blue line and it cost us big time.
I like how it?s gone. The two of them, Pascal and Marc, are feeding off each other, and it keeps both of them active and involved.
I think (NHL officials) are going to look at it. I think he is going to be out for a while.
Marc [Denis] was huge tonight. He played a great game and made some great saves. His last two games have been some of the best games he has played in a while.
It?s probably a day-to-day thing, but it?s not good, I know that. He can put some pressure on it, but not a lot.
