SAY WHAT - 'HE WAS THE FIRST STAR'

ANDERSSON ON MARKSTROM:

ON WHEN IT LOOKED LIKE THE WILD HAD WON:

"I was really upset there. All the thoughts are going through your head, so I was in there, half undressed. Then Gibby (Dennis Gilbert) was like, 'It might be offside.' I was like, 'Yeah, right. They're just checking from the league.' They're like, 'Ras. It might be offside. Ras. It's OFFSIDE.' I was like, 'Oh my God!' I have to get my equipment on and I was like the first shift after, so it was a range of emotions and it's crazy how your brain can switch from one second to another.
"Obviously, really tough back-to-back. Played a good team last night and played another really good team today. We managed to pull one through thanks to No. 25."

ON BACK-TO-BACK WINS:

"It's great. We need every point we can get, there's no denying that. We've won two in a row and now we go for a third one."

MARKSTROM ON HIS NIGHT BETWEEN THE PIPES:

"Feeling good. Practicing good, feeling good, sleeping good. Everything is good and especially when we win.
"I thought our guys did a great job of making sure that I saw most of the pucks and there were a lot of shot blocks. Our penalty kill was huge and it played a big role, especially in the second period and the third when they had a 4-on-3. That's a huge kill for our team. Second game of a back-to-back and we need to string games together and it's nice to get one of these."

ON WINNING TWO IN A ROW:

"It starts yesterday with the win and Toffoli with six seconds left, that was huge after we let them back in the game. And then today, we've got to win games in a row. We haven't done that much this year. Now it's re-focus, relax when we get home tonight, and then re-focus for the next game."

ON MINNESOTA'S GOAL THAT WASN'T:

"When you see the puck go in, it's obviously frustrating. A few guys stayed on the bench. Just figured I'd stay on the bench until it's confirmed. It's nice that they review all the goals.
"I didn't really think anything of it. I just waited and then we'll see. I didn't want to get my hopes up and then get upset and lose my head. I just tried to stay focused."

TOFFOLI ON TWO WINS IN 24 HOURS:

"Obviously, this road trip, we played against two playoff teams - and the way they play, they play a playoff style and they play it 82 games of the year and then carry it into the playoffs. I thought we did a good job. They had some chances and like I said, Marky was amazing. Just found a way."

ON THE PLAY OF HIS GOALIE:

"Honestly, I'm so happy for him. He's just an incredible guy, a great teammate. Obviously, the start of the year wasn't his greatest and a lot of people were all over him for a bit, but he's stepped up - especially these last few games. And even before this, he was keeping us in games. I'm just really happy for him and glad we could get him a win."

ON WILD'S OVERTURNED OT GOAL:

"I think there were 10 of us in the room. We thought the game was over, obviously. We heard everybody screaming to get back out there and we went back out and Darryl told us to get our heads back into it.
"There was some gear (taken off), I'm not going to name names. Not mine. My jersey might have been off. But was on my lap still. But there was some gear off."

SUTTER ON GETTING A BIG WIN:

"Carry-over from last game (on Saturday against Minnesota), and that was a 1-0 game in the third period at home. Pretty similar-type games. …. Played last night, got in late. That's not an easy turnaround. Used everybody on the bench and guys did a good job.
"We're fighting for points. We know that. We had one or two rough games at home and everybody threw us under the bus, so good on them.
"I believe you've got to win every game. Eighteen, nineteen, twenty, whatever it is, you've got to win every game."

ON MARKSTROM'S PERFORMANCE:

"It's good for him to get some credit. Gets his first shutout of the year and was the first star of the game, for sure."
