May 8 postgame quotes: Anze Kopitar

On weathering a game-tying goal and St. Louis momentum early in overtime:
“It’s one of those things where you’re so close to getting it, and getting on the flight and going home, but you’ve got to regroup and we have enough experience in this locker room that knows what it takes to go through OT. I thought we came out pretty strong. We were throwing pucks at the net, and in overtime every shot’s a good shot. The most important thing, we finished it off.”

On Slava Voynov’s game-winning goal:
“Well, Justin had it on the wall. I saw we had numbers coming up the ice, and I just wanted to go through the middle and drive the net to give him a little space, but then I think it was their D that pinched him off, and he was able to slide it to me. I saw Slava going down the other side, and he was able to bury it, so it was good.”

On the emotion of being able to close the series out on Friday at home:
“It’s great. It’s all we wanted. You want to get this win. You want to have the chance to close it out at home. We all know the fourth one’s going to be the toughest one, but we’re going to have to get ready for it and play our game.”
