Postgame player quotes

JONATHAN QUICK

(on his defensive support…)
“Our penalty kill and our defense played excellent all game long. They limited their chances. They cleared rebounds, they picked up sticks in front. They took care of most of the work for me so it made it a bit easier.”

(on playing with a lead…)
“It always helps to be playing with the lead, whether you’re at home or on the road. We got out there early and put one in. We played well behind it and we were able to carry it out for the whole 60 minutes.”

PATRICK O’SULLIVAN

(on Jonathan Quick…)
“(Quick) played great. He’s really athletic and probably the most impressive thing about him is he’s really calm. He doesn’t overreact.”

(on the game plan…)
“We know they’ve got a big team and some guys who can cycle the puck, so we wanted to play in their end as much as we could. That first period we really established our play in their end and got some shots and a couple of goals. Anytime you do that, it doesn’t matter what team you’re playing it’s going to help you throughout the rest of the game.”

DREW DOUGHTY

(on the victory…)
“We played a bad game against Buffalo and we fought hard and lost in Detroit. We came out hard tonight and overall, we took it to them.”
