On the teams third period in closing out tonights game
I think the other team kept us alert, just because of who they are and who they have. The way we were rolling lines, the bench was alert all the time and we check, check, check and the power play did what the power play needs to do at the end of the game.
On how well the Kings checked tonight against Edmonton
I dont think you beat the Edmonton Oilers unless you check. You open it up and play a free-wheeling game, youre not going to win. Checking and patience led to opportunities for us and we took advantage of a few of them.
On if he believes the three PPGs can get the power play going overall
It was three different groups, because we got the two, and then when we went to lines, away from units, and played two defensemen, they scored a goal, which was good to see, but in those situations, the other team is kind of done. When the others teams done, you need to hammer the nail in and at least our guys did that.
On keeping McDavid and Draisaitl off the board tonight
We tried to prepare for the team, but also for them. They obviously control a lot of offense. I was talking to one of the people I know well here before the game and you can almost start 1-0 or 2-0 for Edmonton at the beginning of the night, theyre that good. Youve got to check and play them tight. Our team was fortunate, they did that tonight against those two individuals, but its not easy.
