Post-game Chatter

Coach Michel Therrien:

• “Even though we were down two goals we didn’t panic. We didn’t change anything. We stuck to the plan and deserved to win.”

Goaltender Peter Budaj

• “It’s always easier to go to the last shutout with the lead 1-0. The pressure’s on the player. That was big. It took the pressure away from me.”

Columbus forward Nick Foligno

• “We’re doing a lot of good things. That’s the frustrating part. We’re not coming away with two points. There seems that lull, that little moment when we allow them to come back.”
