It's been a struggle, but I think we're staying in games and giving ourselves a chance to win. If we can keep doing that, then hopefully we'll be able to capitalize and get some wins.

I think my play so far this season has been pretty good. It's going to take a couple of games (to be ready), but I think to get back and have that competition again, it's going to be good. Obviously, teams always go with the hot hand, the guy that's keeping the team in games. I'm looking forward to getting back and feeling like I can do that.

Obviously he's on fire. Even the games I've watched on TV, he seems to be getting points every night. He's an elite player.

It's probably more frustrating for him. He's giving us a chance to win every night. Those last two games, we didn't even score a goal for him. He's playing real well but it would have been nice to get his confidence up by getting him a win.

That's two games in a row the defense has done their job. The defense is giving us a chance to win. We just need to get our offense going.

This is where I am. My sole focus is helping this team win some hockey games. Once you get in the locker room you've got 20 guys all focused on the same thing.
