POST-GAME QUOTES
John Tortorella on Wojtek Wolski…
“He certainly was around the puck and had a number of opportunities to score. I thought he played hard. You can see his talent level. I thought he played a good game.”
Henrik Lundqvist on tonight’s game…
“I thought we played a pretty good game. It could have gone either way. We definitely had our chances at the end to tie it up. They are a good team, they are a fast team. It was a fun game to play but unfortunately we came up short tonight.”
Brandon Dubinsky on tonight’s game…
“We had our chances. The momentum went back and forth. We were right there. We had our chances. We had an opportunity to get two points on home ice. We have to make sure we don’t let these ones slip away and find a way to score when we have opportunities.”
