January 30 postgame quotes: Jonathan Quick

On the challenges presented by Pittsburgh’s power play:
If you give any team a 5-on-3 they’re going to create chances. You know, they get one there, and then a 2-on-1 and I get beat over the shoulder. At that point we’re still not out of the game, it’s still a two-goal game. We just couldn’t get it together enough to get a couple.

On if the recent schedule is wearing on the team:
Everybody has the same schedule, everybody deals with it.

On the focus for Saturday’s game against Philadelphia:
We’re looking to get two points, that’s the focus.

On whether he was “OK” with being pulled:
No, you never are.

On the team’s offensive struggles:
That has nothing to do with what my job is on the team. My job is to stop the puck, and I wasn’t able to do that tonight. I’ll look at the video, get better for the next game.

On the importance of turning around momentum before the Olympic break:
It’s important to get two points on Saturday, so that’s the focus.
