Gerard Gallant met with the media following the win over Tampa and said (NYR):
- On the game, “that is three in a row that we’ve played the way we want to play and I think we are finding our game and everybody is enjoying it. Another battle tonight, low-scoring playoff type game. The PP was a little off tonight until it gets the winning goal at the end and came through when it had to. It was a great hockey game, great goaltending at both ends and a fun game to coach.”
- What was the problem with the PP, “didn’t click, didn’t seem to be that the flow was there and you gotta give their PK a great job because they did an excellent job, sticks in lanes, it wasn’t our night tonight on the PP, but they got the huge goal at the end to win it.”
- What confidence do you get from sweeping Tampa, “They are a great team and do a great job and you feel good when you come in on the road and beat a team like that. It was a good win for our group and now we gotta go play another real good team tomorrow. We’ll see what happens. More for me, the last three games we played the right way, tonight was special, bu the last three games is what I like to see from our team.”
