Question: Jarret Stoll, the game he played Tuesday, is that more of what you expect from him?
MURRAY: ``Yeah, that was Stoll's best game to date. He used his speed, he was on the puck, he battled to come up with pucks along the boards, loose pucks. He attacked more often with the puck on his stick. He's got great speed and if he can just take it to the net more often, that's going to be a real asset that he should go to more often. I like what he did.''
