No power play goals, but…
Even if Julien's squad went 0-for-3 while up a man, the consensus inside the locker room was that the power play served an important role in the win.
"I think that the power play did a good job. It gave us a lot of rhythm. We worked really hard tonight on the power play and even if we didn't score, we still made the most of our chances," explained Phillip Danault, who picked up his 22nd and 23rd assists of the season on Saturday night.
"You want the line heading out there after the power play to capitalize on some momentum. That's what we did tonight," added Drouin.
Praise for Victor Mete
After the game, defenseman Victor Mete received his fair share of praise from his teammates.
The 20-year-old logged nearly 19 minutes of ice time while going up against the most productive line in the NHL.
"He skated well with the puck, just like he always does. He also contributed by putting the puck on net. It was a good game for him," affirmed Weber, who played alongside Mete at even-strength.
"He was excellent. He seemed very confident tonight. He communicates well and uses his strong skating ability to put himself in good situations," explained Carey Price.
