We played a really strong defensive game. The 5-on-3s were the key. We killed them off and that was important for our success.

One of the important things was when it was 0-0 and we killed the five-on-three and they didn't score. We scored after and it's always better if you score the first goal.

It's definitely a great feeling to win the game and to win in the shootout. You get the extra one point which is great, but I would rather win the game in 60 minutes or in the regular overtime,

I don't think it's such a huge difference. It's good for them that they've already played on the big [international] ice, which is probably the biggest difference.

Probably, I'm a little bit excited and nervous. It's not just another pre-season game, it's the first one in this building for me

We wanted to get after Tate and take him out of the game. The key was our defensive line. They put pressure on Tate and we stopped the run.
