"It was a good win before the break. We went with a positive attitude into the break. Those days off are important, for sure. It's a little reset that can bring some energy tonight. We have to do a lot of the same things we did in the last game."
"It is great to have Sully here. We all know Sully from coming in and working with the Marlies this year. He is a long-time NHL player, a good player, and an offensive guy, so we brought him in here to help with the power play."
"They're working together, but it's just getting used to working with him, getting accustomed to everything, and how we do things. We're just talking through different looks and scenarios on the PP."
The team used the three-day break as a short reset after a positive pre-break win, allowing rest and renewed energy. Brandon Carlo returned to on-ice skating and is progressing, with hopes for no setbacks. Steve Sullivan joined the staff to provide an offensive voice and to help improve the power play, bringing prior experience with the Marlies. The current power-play focus is on simple adjustments, new looks, and rebuilding chemistry without overcomplicating systems. Defensive pairing familiarity is being restored, with McCabe and Tanev forming a steady pairing and Stecher noted for strong play.
