Craig Berube on moving away from the five-forward power play: "It's not that I don't like five forwards, and they do some real good things... I don't like when it goes the other way... We'll keep trying new things"

On Jake McCabe's recovery, Coach Berube stated, "He is doing well. He skated this morning. I don't have a timeline. Hopefully, it is not too long..." This highlights McCabe's positive progress in rehab.

Discussing the decision to start Dennis Hildeby in goal, Berube noted, "Woll has played a lot, and I was thinking ahead to Dallas coming in. I liked Dennis' game in his last start..." This implies strategic planning for player rotation.

Regarding the Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Chris Tanev pairing, Berube said, "They have been good together. Both are responsible defensively, have good sticks, and kill plays low..." This showcases their effective collaboration.

On Max Pacioretty's response to being scratched, Berube shared, "He is good. That conversation came up before he was signed... He is very good about it. He is a good pro." This indicates Pacioretty's professionalism.
