Quinton Byfield
On his assessment of tonight’s game

We’re playing a lot of divisional games on this road trip and those are big points. Coming out, I think we started really well, first period, I think we started off really good. After that, they kind of found their work boots, put the puck behind us, and started going. Then it’s just a tale of the special teams. They got one, we didn’t.
On if the first period, while good, felt like a missed opportunity
I think we felt like we should have had more there, but their goalie made some big saves, the puck was finding him at some spots too. I mean, we came out hot, we wished we could buried a couple more, but that’s just how it went.
On his assessment of the power play right now
I feel like we’re there at times and at times it’s just super frustrating. So, it’s a bit of both, but they trust us to go out there and be offensive players. In tight games, 1-1 games, we’ve got to be the difference. So that’s on us, and we’ve got to be better on the power play.
On what made it so difficult for both sides to break through offensively
I think both teams, they battle we’ll give it to them, they’ve got players that make plays as well but they all work, so it made us work even harder as well. It’s two teams that are good defensively and just work hard. It was a low-scoring game and you’ve got to check for your chances and as I said, the special teams.

Jim Hiller
On his overall assessment of tonight’s game

Probably couldn’t have started much better for us. First power play was excellent, goalie made some saves, thought we could have been up a couple, easy, after one. Then in the second period, they started forechecking us, we didn’t forecheck, we started trying to skate through them and they just broke it up and forechecked us, then they carried the play a little bit. Third period, that’s an uncharacteristic read by us on the penalty kill, we just got out of our structure for a minute. They made us pay. The third period is fine, first period is really good, second period I didn’t like because we got forechecked and we should be doing that.
On if the first period felt like a missed opportunity considering the way the Kings played
That’s it for sure. I mean, we worked, we had energy, we played our game, but you have to bury your chances. If you don’t, teams usually hang around a little bit. We didn’t give them much for the first two periods at all, I thought they were opportunistic to be honest with you and their goalie played good. I thought we could have played better, thought we deserved to win, we move on.
On the team’s power play
Tonight, the entries gave us problems after the first power play. We didn’t win the faceoffs, if you win the faceoff, it makes a big difference and then we struggled with our entries the second half of the game. If don’t have the entries, you don’t have puck support, you don’t have the puck and then you’re frustrated pretty quickly. That’s what happened.
On if you look to simplify when entries aren’t working, or if it’s just down to execution
We have to execute. We didn’t execute great in the second half of the game, I didn’t think, even in the third we were bobbing a lot of pucks, even at 5-on-5. Just a lack of execution. Guys out there know how to do the job, they’ve done the job before and it’s got to be better.
