I thought I had him with the poke check. But he got me 5-hole.

It's really nice to have this done before the games start again so we can focus on winning games when we come back. I love this place and this organization. Especially the goalie coaching I get here. Everything is perfect here.

We got 30 shots in the first two periods and I thought the other guy was unbelievable. I only faced about 10 shots so I spent most of the time watching him stand on his head. I was still ready, though.

We knew this one would be a big swing, and that's why it was so important. It was a four-point game. Now we're not that far back.

I was trying to poke check him a little bit and I missed the puck. It's mentally pretty hard.

Even though they had a lot of traffic in front of the net, I was able to see it. I saw the shots into my stomach so it was easy to control the rebounds.

I think it was a really strong game defensively for us. That one goal that went in, it was lucky, a bad bounce. Other than that, I was able to see the puck throughout the game.

It was huge. Hopefully, we can keep it going now.

I feel comfortable. My self-confidence is high up again. The more you play, the more comfortable you start getting. It's hard to play every once in awhile. It makes it easier when you play more and get into a rhythm.
