""I didn't feel we played poorly tonight," he said to reporters after the game. "I mean, we made some mistakes and they went in the net. That happens in games throughout the season. But I liked the guys' attitude and they stayed with it. I thought everybody kept playing and doing good things. Eventually, we ended up putting some goals in the net.""
""I'm not pulling him because it's all on him or whatever. I'm making a change, just trying to change the momentum more than anything," Berube said when explaining why he pulled Woll. " Just wasn't going our way, so I made the change and tried to change the momentum of the game. That's why I pulled him. I don't like pulling goalies, but I just thought it was the right move at the time.""
After a dominant win earlier in the week, the team fell behind 4-1 to the Jets in the first half but remained composed and persistent. Coach Craig Berube credited the players' attitude and steady effort despite mistakes that produced goals against. A mid-game goalie change replacing Joseph Woll with Dennis Hildeby helped shift momentum, with Hildeby making crucial stops including a late save that preserved the comeback. Captain Auston Matthews scored a hat trick to drive the rally and the team converted improved offensive execution into the winning comeback.
