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 got scored against on the few chances we gave up. We only got scored against because maybe we were too aggressive. That same aggressiveness won us the game. We dominated the third period, gave up one shot, and we didn't look back.

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

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

We dug ourselves a hole, and we tried to dig ourselves out of it. We kept it close until late, but they didn't give up a lot. Our passing was awful and our shooting was worse.

You don't want to dig a hole. We kept it close until late, but our passing was awful, and our shooting was worse.
