You can watch Todd McLellan's post-game press conference with the video above and here's a look at some of the questions and answers from his post-game availability.
McLellan's evaluation of the game:
"Well, we got a win on home ice. Our penalty kill performed fairly well, we gave one up, against a real good power play. We knew that was part of their bread and butter, I thought we had a slow start and our goaltender played very well early in the game and then in those specialty situations. Our power play got one, but when you do make mistakes, you rely on good goaltending, and we got that tonight."
McLellan on how big an impact the fourth line was and has been:
"Significant impact, the ability to, one, start the penalty kill each and every time. Gruny (Carl Grundstrom) has three goals already. They are a very trusting line. I know that, three or four years ago, there was a large group that wanted trusting players here. Well, there's three of them on that line right now that get the job done. It's nice to have that, it's nice to be able to roll lines. What it does, it affects some other guys that are used to playing a little bit more, and if we're able to continue to play the way we are, we all have to accept that we might play a little less. That's just the way it is. But, we're fortunate to have Lizzo's line playing as well as it is right now."
McLellan on Fiala's ability to control games and if he was at his best Tuesday:
"Well, those are qualities that he applies to the game when he's playing his best, and I think that you recognize that by asking the question with some of those qualities, and I would agree with you."
