Gerard Gallant met with the media following the loss to the Devils and said (MSG):

• On the game, “first period was good and then we sort of did the unwritten rule of starting to turn pucks over and make fancy blues inside their blue line and it cost us 2-3 goals and we couldn’t stop it…they got a goal and we couldn’t stop it. A lot of it was self-inflicted, but they are a talented team and have some great young players that we talked about and they can make those plays when you give them the opportunity. We didn’t do a good enough job clearing the front of our net, a couple of screened goals, guy pushes the puck in when it’s between the goalies legs. We looked real good in the first and then we looked like we were mentally tired and didn’t have it the rest of the way.”
