On whether the feeling in the room has changed since the last time L.A. was in St. Louis:
“Regardless of where we play, we haven’t played well in this building. We haven’t done enough to win hockey games in this building, and we’re coming in here to win one game. I know coach Sutter said that, and I’m going to reiterate it. We’re here to focus on tonight’s game, and try and build off our two wins.”
On whether Game 4 was the team’s best defensive performance despite the goals allowed:
“I don’t know All I know is that as the game progressed, we got stronger. But as I said after the game, it’s not a time to relax now that it’s 2-2. It’s a time to have that instinct to go after it and keep it down and take this crowd out of it as quickly as we can tonight.”
On the response expected from St. Louis in Game 5:
“I mean, every game is different. Every game has its own little story, I guess, of how it progresses. We’re focusing on our start. We’re focusing on period one. We’re not waiting to see how this game is going to turn out. We’re going to go and try and dictate it.
