November 8 postgame quotes: Darryl Sutter

On the team’s performance:
We’ve played like that for quite a while. Sometimes you get some scoring, sometimes you don’t. With Andersen, we’ve got a lot of struggle with him in Anaheim, and we knew we had to get lots of shots, which is always important, and try and get traffic, and we were able to do that.

On Jeff Carter’s performance:
I thought our whole team played really well.

On Peter Budaj stepping into “difficult situation”:
It’s certainly not a difficult situation, it’s an opportunity to play in the NHL, play on a good team that checks really well and doesn’t give much, so it’s what we need him to do.

On what the surplus of scoring chances over the last two games stems from:
I wouldn’t say the last two games, I’d say the last several games, it’s just that we had three games where if we’d listened to what everybody was saying, the sky was definitely caving in. We actually were playing pretty well and just hadn’t scored, so the difference would be that we have scored, so I wouldn’t say it’s related to one game or two games. Our team has good composure, so we don’t let too much bother us.
