Pre-Game
Sean Monahan
- "With the Flames, I played injured for a long time. When they traded me, I had just had a second hip surgery. I’m sure many people doubted me."
Marty St. Louis on Jesse Ylonen
- "I think he has to keep being trustworthy on the ice defensively, away from the puck, but he’s still got to keep building his offensive game, which we know he has. He’s got a great shot, so he’s got to find the holes on the ice and the opportunity to show that and I know he can and he has. But you can’t do that when you’re in the stands and he’s got to play."
