KADRI ON HOW IT PLAYED OUT:

ON GIVING UP TWO IN THE THIRD PERIOD:

"Ideally, you have a two-goal lead in the third period, you should win the game. But like I said, I don't think we gave up a whole lot and they have some great players over there that take advantage of opportunities. Played 55 good minutes tonight. Not enough for 60."

ON TOUGH OT RECORD:

"It's challenging for us, it seems, but I think that can be a little deceiving as well. We've allowed a few powerplay goals in overtime and that certainly doesn't help the stats, so for us, it's trying to close the game before overtime. When it goes to overtime, it's anyone games - 3-on-3 - and we've got to do a better job before that."

MANGIAPANE ON WHAT WENT WRONG:

"I thought we did some good things. We've got to come back next game against these guys and do the good things well. But I think we sat back in the third there and they came in waves at us. We didn't really do much in the third there. I thought we sat back and they took it over from there."

ON THE REPONSE IN THE THIRD:

"When you give up one there, you have to have a good next shift after, and we've got to learn from that. It's just tough, right? I thought we were playing a decent game up until that point, but we kind of let it slip. We've got to learn from it and come back stronger against these guys next game."

ON PLAY OF HIS LINE:

"We're at our best when all three of us are working and reading off each other, cycling, lows-to-highs and things like that. I thought we were having some good shifts there, at times. It was good we were able to score a couple goals there."

ON REMATCH ON THURSDAY:

"A lot of guys were saying it's like a playoff series, right? Lose this one and now we've got to even it up and win the next one here."

SUTTER ON THE OT LOSS:

"Hard time handling the Thomas line."

ON HOW THEY GAVE UP THE LEAD:

"I'd say the first one is just a (freaking) rebound and the second one, is one line against the Thomas line. We turn the puck over and the wingers didn't take the middle, so. Line versus line. That's why."

ON MANGIAPANE-BACKLUND-COLEMAN LINE:

"Good to see Mang score. He's had a lot right in that area from there to the goalie where he hasn't scored, so it was good for him to score."
ON DUEHR'S SEASON DEBUT:
"He's got an identity and he's playing because Brett Ritchie's hurt. He's got to do that job for you."
