I talked to (assistant coach) Rich Preston and expressed some interest. I knew I wanted to come back here and wanted to make sure they knew that. It worked out well. I enjoyed playing here, I love the city and liked the guys here. I looked at the team, watched them play in the playoffs. It was something I wanted to be a part of.

We were a little bit fragile.

We're excited about the way things are going right now.

The depth is incredible. We can definitely play four lines and, with a season like this, that's going to be key.

You can't rely on the big guns every night to produce. The guys like myself and Dono have got to step up a little bit and fortunately tonight we did.
