Here are some postgame thoughts from Andy Murray, Andy McDonald and Chris Mason…
COACH ANDY MURRAY
“We got the two points today. We’ve played two very good teams. San Jose – top of the league – and, in my opinion, the L.A. Kings are one of the best teams in the league. So for us to get four points on this road trip is gratifying. I liked our determination and the fact that when they scored that one goal, that we came right back and carried the play. I thought our game in the offensive zone was good. Our compete level was at a high level, for the most part.”
ANDY McDONALD
“It was a big win for us. We wanted to be a little bit more solid closing games out, but we’ve played well the last two games on the road and hopefully it will continue at home. We think we’ve kind of turned the corner a little bit. I like the way we’ve been playing [defensively] and we’re starting to get a little more offense – which has been a problem for us – so hopefully it’ll continue and we’ll string some games together.”
CHRIS MASON
“It was a really good win. The [Kings] have been really hot and really good on the power play. That was definitely a good road trip for the team. We knew it was going to be a [high-scoring] game. They have a lot of offense. We would probably like to keep it a little bit lower scoring, but we scored some goals tonight and we put the puck in the net in the shootout.”
