Pre-game Notes and Quotes
  • “We played a pretty great team [on Thursday] and we showed up and competed and made play,” said Alex Galchenyuk. “I think the penalties killed the momentum a little bit. … We have a game [on Saturday] and we have to bounce back.”
  • “We have a great group here in this room and we’re working for it,” said Jets forward Drew Stafford. “It just hasn’t gone our way.”
  • Alex Galchenyuk will centre Max Pacioretty and Brendan Gallagher.
  • “One thing with Alex is that he is progressing really well,” said coach Michel Therrien. “He is playing with confidence. As a winger, he has been productive. We want to make sure that … he is capable of maintaining that. If he is capable of maintaining the quality of play that he has given us lately, that’s great news.”
  • Galchenyuk put it quite simply, “I’ve played wing. I’ve played center. I’ve just got to go out there and do my job.”
