Jan Rutta, Mike Hoffman, and head coach David Quinn gave their reactions postgame.
David Quinn Quotes:
"Our penalty kill was unable to deliver tonight. The fourth goal really was a backbreaker, just that loose coverage on the net front. It was a simple shot from the point. We don't pick up a stick at the net, and it ends up in the back of the net."
"That was a good good sign. I thought there were some good signs in the powerplay. There were a lot of good signs overall throughout the game, but against a team of that caliber, you've got to make sure that you're thorough in all areas for 60 minutes."
Quinn on Gushchin: "He does good things with the puck, and he's a smart player. He's competitive. I thought he did a lot of good things tonight."
Jan Rutta Quotes:
"I mean, as a team, we have to grow, and we have to learn how to play with the lead. I think we started that third period pretty well."
"I think the last couple of games, we are playing on the puck a little bit more. The team is coming together a little bit more. I know we're not getting too much, but I think our powerplay is getting better."
Mike Hoffman Quotes:
"[We] scored a few more goals than usual, so that's definitely a positive coming out of this game."
"We had the lead in the third period, and then we take a penalty [and] they take advantage of it and then got another one. We kept fighting, and we never gave up. We got a couple of chances to tie it, but that wasn't enough."
"As an offensive guy, you don't want to be going too long without seeing the puck go in the net. It was a good feeling."
