Mark Giordano on the team’s strong play on the California road trip:
In the last couple of weeks, we’ve defended a lot better, played a lot better in our own zone breaking pucks out, and just defended better as a team. Whenever you do that, you give yourself a chance every night.
As these last few games have gone on, we have been really patient within the game. There have been some close games where we have carried play but we haven’t gotten frustrated. We just stayed patient, and the results came.
Jake McCabe on the takeaways from the three-game sweep in California:
We were patient in all three of those games.
