He's a big, strong player. He uses his body well, he skates. He's playing with a ton of confidence, and he has a good supporting cast around him.

I was prepared like I was going to play and I got a chance to go in and help out.

He's poised with the puck and never puts himself in dangerous positions. He's like a silent assassin.

If you look at the talent around our dressing room, I think everybody's been on the power play during their career.

It was good to see them.

He was getting a little bit frustrated. We played in his face the whole night. He's one of the players we have to be aware of whenever he's on the ice and that's what we did.

I really just wanted to play. I love it here in Pittsburgh. I've made my home here for the last year and a half. I like this organization. They treat their players very well. I'm happy to be back in the lineup. Hopefully, I can play well enough to keep myself [there].
