He was noticed. He ran over a few bodies. He knocked Fitzpatrick down a couple times.

When we put him in contact situation and we ran him through some drills in Tampa Bay, he didn't do so well. The strength isn't there yet. We're not going to put him in until he's in a situation where he doesn't feel like he's handicapped.

He can win a game by himself. They got a couple of lucky bounces, but he made the difference.

I think maybe the benefit was him getting the couple weeks off late in the year. He looks as fresh as training camp to me. He's been solid, he's been quick, just very reliable and very few poor decisions.

We missed too many opportunities. We didn't convert.

We played a good third period. We probably had five or six real good chances when we had them on their heels, we had some great opportunities.
