Lucic on his first point as a Flame:
"Just getting in on the forecheck and winning a battle. Another thing, too, Benny getting up there and being in the right spot and making it a bang-bang play. For both of us, at times it's been frustrating to start the year because we've been working hard and nothing's really been going our way, but it's good to get one there - and a big goal - to start off the third period."
Giordano on Lucic's big night:
"He's been all around it. Tonight, he had a lot of looks. He's a guy who doesn't get appreciated enough for the little plays that he (makes). I've been really impressed since he got here with his defensive play, getting pucks out. Happy to see him get rewarded. Nice that the fans cheered for him and were saying his name a bunch. It was fun."
Giordano on secondary scoring:
"It was nice to see guys get rewarded who've been working hard all year. ... We played well in the first, didn't like our second but came back in here and re-grouped really well. Couple big plays by that one line, Looch's line, that sort of got us going in the third and I think we had a lot of momentum after that goal."
Ryan on how the Flames took the game over:
"I thought we were really good. I thought we created chances early with Mangy. And once he was out, I thought we were really good as well. We created chances, got in on the forecheck, got pucks back and that's going to be our M.O. lately."
Ryan on his line finding the scoresheet:
"Scoring isn't all of it, but I definitely think that finding ways to contirbute - whatever - making a big play, penalty kill, whatever it is, the bottom-six has to find a way to contribute and we definitely did that in many different ways tonight."
Coach Bill Peters on if this was the team's best game all year:
"Definitely in spurts. I didn't think we were tight in the second. I think in the third it came down to us having the puck more. That's how we want to play. We want to hold on it, make plays and be responsible with the puck. Sometimes the right play is to chip it in and establish the forecheck, but sometimes we need to hold onto it and I thought we did a better job of that tonight. I think we've done a better job in our last three games, so that's an encouraging sign."
Peters on Lindholm/Mangiapane injuries:
"No (update). That's important, obviously. We're going to go on the road here tomorrow, a good back-to-back, a good stern test on the road. Hopefully all hands on deck but I have not got an update."
