February 10 postgame quotes: Jonathan Ericsson

On his game-winning goal:
“The funniest thing is actually that one of the linesmen was thanking me after I scored, and he said, ‘Thank you so much, I really had to go pee. I wouldn’t last overtime,’ so that was kind of funny.”

On Jimmy Howard:
“Without Jimmy, we wouldn’t have [had] a chance today. I think they were better throughout the game. He made some really good saves, and he really kept us in the game the first two periods. We owe Jimmy this win.”

On the Red Wings:
“We just have to bear down when we don’t play as good teams on the paper, of course. We’ve been playing a little bit better. Today I think we weren’t as good as we were yesterday. We’re on the right track, I think.”
