Coach Bergeron's Take
- "I'm happy with the win. I'm really happy with the way our power play started the third period. Those were two huge goals at (at score of) 3-2. There's obviously areas that we can tighten up and play better but overall I'm happy with the win. We showed a bit of rust not having played in a little bit, but I felt we got better as the game went on. I thought our team discipline was pretty good for the most part".
