On Defensive Partner Adam Larsson: "I think every team has a little bit of a sleeper that not a lot of headlines catch on to. He's a big piece of this team. He was my 'D' partner all year, a great friend, a great partner to have; given me every opportunity for success on my right side, and I think a big part of my individual success can be relayed on him.
"He's a really big leader on this team. Not the most vocal guy, but I think everyone leans on him and follows him by the way he displays himself in the community, in the locker room.

"He's a big presence on the ice, and for me, it's just someone that's easy to play with. He's calm, he's steady. He brings the same game every single night, lets me do my thing on the left side, and I'm really thankful to be playing along his side every single night.
"We kind of click together, and he likes to joke around a lot, so it's easy to kind of just mess around with him. And we have really big expectations for each other. We're really hard on each other and really hard on ourselves. So I think that just brings the best out of both of us."
