On where the breakdowns in the third period occurred:
“I know the fourth one was a faceoff goal, so I’m not really sure what happened there. It’s probably the one time in the hockey game where you have a set play. We must have lost coverage. I’m not sure. I haven’t seen [the replay]. Both goals were just kind of a guy gets in behind our coverage. It’s a five man, six-man awareness to where everyone is. We made some errors and they capitalized.”
On whether this was a faster Dallas Stars team than in previous years:
“They definitely had a different look to them. [They had] a lot of new guys in their lineup with a lot of energy. It was a divisional game and they found a way to win.”
On the errors that led to Dallas’ goals:
“They worked hard, but every error we made they made a good play on and found a way to score. That line of Benn, Eriksson and Jagr had an impact on the game. Our top guys need to be better in a game like tonight.”
