Gerard Gallant met with the media following the loss to Toronto and said (NYR/MSG):

• On the end of the season, “Like I said, I’m proud of the guys the way they played the last 10 games after clinching and knowing where were at and probably, the last 5-6 games knowing we’re going to finish in third place. They battled hard and played hard and played the way we want. We’re healthy, so that is the main thing getting through that stretch.
