POST-GAME QUOTES
John Tortorella on Alex Frolov’s goal…
“You hope it helps him. I thought he won a lot of battles. You hope that helps his confidence. He is an important guy here to kick in some goals. I thought he gave us some good minutes. Hopefully he scores a goal that helps you.”
Henrik Lundqvist on the injuries to Chris Drury and Marian Gaborik…
“We can’t really focus on who is out. We have to just to do it together. What is good about this team this year is that we have four lines going. I don’t think there is that much focus on the first line. We have four lines going that work really hard so that is a good thing. Obviously they are key players but there is nothing we can do right now. We have to keep focus and get better.”
Erik Christensen on the power play…
“Just some bad luck I thought. That first power play we had, we had it in their zone for at least three quarters of it. We had some chances. They are a fast team and put a lot of pressure on us. That is one of the most difficult things on a power play, is getting control. It is tough to gain entry on some of those.”
