A couple of the guys were critical of their energy level. How did you think your team performed tonight, especially with the engagement and the energy?“I don't think we were very good.” Not to sugarcoat anything, but two goals by Jake Guentzel, pretty typical of the types of goals th...
“It was special, it was cool tonight,” McCarron said. “Those games don’t come around often, and when they do, it definitely feels good. It feels even better when the boys win.” The Penguins’ power play has come up empty in their last eight games, going 0-for-20 over that s...
“I thought they did a good job of clearing second opportunities,” Sabres captainKyle Okpososaid. “We obviously didn’t do enough to score tonight.” Karlsson put the game away with a power-play goal 27 seconds into the third period, giving Pittsburgh a 3-0 lead. His shot from the po...

"Pretty embarrassing tonight," Dallas forwardJamie Bennsaid. "I think we let our goalie down, and we let each other down. Tough night." It tends to happen when Crosby is at the top of his game. He slid a backhand pass across the ice to Guentzel for a one-timer that slipped between...
