"The third period, I thought, was better than it was last game. I liked our mental toughness to keep playing. We did some better things again, like I said, from the other night. I thought we were more engaged. Our energy was good. We were skating. More connected. I liked our game tonight for the most part."
"I thought it was okay, to be honest. I gotta go back and watch ... We did have some kills. Me, personally, I thought it was a little more sloppy on the kill in the third, just kind of running around a little bit,"
"I definitely think we sat back a little bit more today in the third. I think we've been better this year, but tonight was okay, so hopefully we can get some more momentum and get on our toes more in the third."
San Jose won 4-3 in a shootout against Los Angeles to claim an extra point. The coaching staff praised the victory over a strong opponent while noting that the team must improve in certain areas. The third period showed better mental toughness, more engagement, stronger energy, skating, and connection compared with the previous game. Defenseman Mario Ferraro said the third-period penalty kill was somewhat sloppy, that the team sat back more, and urged regaining momentum and staying on their toes. Team leadership remains unsatisfied with settling and seeks continued improvement.
