We didn’t defend well enough to give ourselves a chance to win.” On Nylander’s two-goal game and the second line’s play: “Yeah. I had said they had been generating chances and it just seemed like it was just a matter of time particularly for Will. Those shots that he’s had, where he’s been in behind the defence and kind of alone with the goalie, he’s had those for a while now and they haven’t gone for him and normally they do and tonight they did. So that’s a really good sign for him and us.” WILLIAM NYLANDER On his team’s effort tonight: “I thought we battled back well there to the beginning of the third but then lost our man there in the d-zone and then a tip which is sloppy and that’s been happening a bit lately and we need to dial that down.” On his line playing better of late: “It started a little bit in Seattle there, I think we got something going and I thought last game we had a lot of chances but there were a lot of penalties kills out there so we didn’t get out too much. But other than that, I think we’ve been creating more and more every game which is positive.” TJ BRODIE On his team’s effort tonight: “We knew that they were going to be a rush team and we just didn’t find a way to shut them down on the rush tonight.” On the frustration of taking a too many men penalty: “Yeah. It happens but we found a way to kill it off so in the end it all equals out.” JACK CAMPBELL On tonight’s loss: “We lost so it’s not good enough but you know practice tomorrow, work hard and get back at it.” On how quickly the team can move on: “It’s something you need to do in this league. You play a lot, a lot of good teams and you need to be ready when the next game comes

Anytime you can play with a lead for 59 minutes or whatever it was is a good thing and then obviously special teams was really good again tonight and it needed to be. We talked about it before the game and this team on both sides of it, powerplay and penalty kill, was going to challenge us better than anybody we’ve seen in quite a while and the guys were excellent today. The powerplay we had early that we didn’t score, I thought we were able to get some looks and move the puck through pressure pretty well and big-time goal by Morgan, a huge goal for us. But then the penalty kill in that second period, I mean the game could have changed dramatically if we don’t get it done there and not only do we get it done and get out of there clean but we get a huge shorthanded goal again so love those parts of it and then Jack Campbell was just outstanding in net.” MORGAN RIELLY On the team’s performance tonight: “I think it was good, obviously a good win against a really good team that has been playing really well lately. The special teams stick out when we take that many penalties so I thought the PK did a great job.” On his goal tonight: “I just saw some room, that’s all. Those powerplay breakouts with those two guys behind me it’s normally an automatic drop so when there is a chance to go you want to be able to take advantage of it.” MITCH MARNER On Rielly’s power play goal: “Great read by him, we kind of talked a bit before the game about how they like to come down ice and pressure. Obviously he saw a lane and trusted himself and I think everyone knows we’ve got a lot of trust in Mo on that powerplay so when he sees a lane and takes it we have all the confidence in him and it was a hell of a shot there.” On the group’s effort tonight: “I just didn’t think we backed down off of anything. We were all engaged in puck battles. Special team wise, everyone was dialed in regardless of powerplay so that’s something we talked about before the game – we just need to make sure we’re going to match or be better than them at but especially our penalty kill did a great job.” JACK CAMPBELL On his primary assist tonight: “I saw Morgan streaking back on the right side and just left it for him perfectly and that’s about it. He made an unbelievable play and just a world class player and it was fun to watch.” On if he saw the ice opening up from his angle: “I don’t want to say too much because I’m not a player so I’m not out there but it looked like they gave him a little bit of room for how good of a skater he is and he made a great move with a ton of speed and made a perfect shot.

POSTGAME QUOTES: HEAD COACH SHELDON KEEFE On tonight’s win: “I thought we were elite on special teams. I thought we had a real potential advantage coming into the game tonight and it played out that way. The plan put forth by Spencer and Dean on both the power play and the penalty kill and then the execution of the players was high-level today, especially on the power play. It was fun to watch. So, that really set us up to win the hockey game. We made good on the chances that we got in around the net and there’s lots in the game that I didn’t like, and then I thought Seattle did a good job against us. I liked a lot about the third period, especially the last half of it. A good game to finish the road trip off the right way. Let’s go home.” MITCH MARNER On tonight’s win: “I thought we were good. Special teams obviously a big part of that win. I thought we got away from our game a little bit there in the second. Didn’t play how we wanted to, too many turnovers and stuff like that but I think that third period is how we want to finish out games. Be relentless on pucks, be on our toes, playing on the forecheck and not giving them a whole lot.” ALEXANDER KERFOOT On tonight’s win: “It’s great to end this road trip off with a win. Obviously, it didn’t go the way we wanted it to, but it was a great response coming here. You never want to come out empty handed so I thought we did the job tonight and we closed it out pretty well in third period in not giving them much.” JACK CAMPBELL On tonight’s win: “The team played a complete game. Seattle has a lot of speed. Fun to play them and see what they’ve got. Great building. I thought our guys came out and just played a great game.” On Marner’s assist on Kämpf’s shorthanded goal: “He’s a tough player to defend and thankfully I don’t have to worry about that, he’s on our team. Just an incredible player, incredible teammate and incredible play.

POSTGAME QUOTES: HEAD COACH SHELDON KEEFE On tonight’s game: “Obviously, I didn’t like the start. That first goal that we give up, to me we just lacked the intensity required to start the game in that instance there and it cost us. From that point, I liked a lot about our game, I thought they gave up a little too much with their counter and their transition coming out of our long o-zone sequences and then they would counter and get a pretty good rush chance the other way. Obviously, we deserved a whole lot more offence in goals than we got tonight but that’s what happens you spot them a 2-0 lead, it’s a team that relies on world class goaltending to win games as it is, then you give them a two-goal lead then it’s an uphill climb from there. Loved that our guys kept fighting, two huge power play goals to even the game, tough one to give up at the end of the second there to give them the lead back. Goaltending is the difference but really for me since I don’t coach the goaltender on the other side, it’s about the two goals we give them off the hop.” AUSTON MATTHEWS On tonight’s game: “I think we did a lot of good things. I think our start maybe wasn’t as good as we wanted to and obviously they capitalized on it there early and forced us to have to dig ourselves out of a hole but I thought the second period and the third period we really had a lot of time in their end of the ice and had a lot of really good chances, some unlucky and then some really good saves by their goalie. Just a couple things to clean up especially our start there. I think we start a little bit better and we don’t have to dig ourselves out of a hole I think we’re playing with a little bit more confidence there.” ONDŘEJ KAŠE On his second-period goal: “It was a big goal for me, I haven’t scored in a while. I was happy it was for 2-2. It was a big goal but after that they scored again and you know, I would trade the goal for two points, but I can’t.” On how he felt playing tonight after exiting Thursday’s game early: “I felt really good today actually… It’s kind of tough, after I feel like a good game, we lost two points so it’s tough to say now how I felt.” PETR MRÁZEK On tonight’s game: “Obviously not the start we wanted, down 2-0 early on, but I think we picked it up really well. Starting in the second period we were rolling pretty well and just couldn’t score more.” On the goals he allowed tonight: “The first one, I have to look at it. I didn’t have the time to see it. Obviously, the second one just hit his body and went in. I didn’t like the third goal. An important one that I wish I would have put it in a different spot and I just put it right on his tape.
