It's playoff hockey for us. We can't take any night off, it's such a tight race.

I'd probably like to keep going (with games), but I'm going to use the break to my advantage. A few minor injuries will have the chance to heal up, it's a chance to get refreshed and rejuvenated and to do some off-ice conditioning.

I try not to think about it too much. Usually if you do the other things, the little things, the one-on-one battles, and focus on some of the other things, things take care of themselves. When you're on a streak, you try not to evaluate it too much. You just go play your game.

We had some fun and got away from the rink.

The day off yesterday helped. We had a little bit of fun and it showed tonight. We were fresh on the ice and we had a little jump to us.

It's always good to get the lead early. We've struggled a bit with that this year. Tonight I thought we played well once we got the lead and we shut them down.
