Alex Kovalev Game Quotations

I don't know what the other guys felt but I'm sure they were tired. Playing two games in a row and killing penalties is definitely tough.

But we've played 16 games now and every game is (close) like that, with a couple of exceptions. It's getting ridiculous.

We played such a great game there was no reason really to quit. We knew how good we were playing and how many chances we had. And we kept getting them every shift. We had to capitalize on one of them and that's what we did. We came out, we had a chance and we scored.

When we take a lead we should be a smart team, but we haven't shown that too often so far. But I know our guys are going to play a little smarter and they know how important every game is in the playoffs. I believe in this team and I said at the beginning of the season that this team is going to surprise a lot of people. So we'll see.
