Smith stretched the Panthers lead to 3-0 on the power-play with 10:11 left in the third. “But if we continue to play like this 5-on-5, I’m confident that good things will happen to our team”.

We need that going forward as these points are huge”. “But I feel that it’s better off today to have a light gym (workout) off the ice, get away from the ice and get our minds fresh for tomorrow and have a strong game”. “He’s fine; no issues there”.
