Vinni Lettieri said during the preseason that he has to be “fierce” in the offensive and defensive zones and get to the “dirty areas.” (NYR Game Notes)

He added, “might take a blocker to the face like I did from the goalie there – that didn’t feel too good – but that’s what it’s going to take to either get the guys going or get a rebound. That’s just what you have to do as a smaller guy.” (NYR Game Notes)
