"It's good for any player," Fox said about Zibanejad scoring a goal. "He is a player who is heavily relied upon. It's early in the season and some guys are getting off to hot starts. He is a guy who's had a lot of success. It was a big goal for him to get that going and for the team to jumpstart us as well."
"Sometimes it's a matter of getting the goal, no matter how you get it," Zibanejad said. "You get a little bit more energy, the crowd gets a little bit more energy and everyone gets involved again. It was big for us and it was a good feeling."
"I thought in the second period we just made quicker plays, shorter plays or longer plays when we needed to," Peter Laviolette said. "I also thought we got moving better in the offensive zone during the second period. In the first period I thought we were stale. You gotta move more than we did and we were able to do that in the second period and we generated from."
