I'm excited to return to Atlanta and look forward to getting back on the ice and helping my teammates, ... We have a lot of offensive talent and I can't wait to contribute and help lead this team to the next level.

It felt good to be back on the ice tonight,

That's my job, to score goals and score as many as I can. I don't know if I'm going to be the leader of scoring or not. I just want to help my team win as many games as I can. Maybe I'm going to block the shot and we're going to win the game.

I live in my car now. My girlfriend -- we have a baby sitter, so everything will be OK.

On the power play, I'm in a really good position, ... Guys are giving me the puck for the one-timer and I get good chances. I played the point back when I played in Russia. It's a really good spot, you know. I have lots of shots and lots of chances. I practice a lot at it and it's working. The goals are coming and the wins are coming.

He had a couple of chances, ... It's coming. It's just his first game and I hope he's going to get much better. We were playing exactly the same way as we did the last couple of years. When I got the puck I always looked for him. But we're going to work on that in practice [Thursday] and against Toronto [on Friday] he's going to score a couple.
