Is creating traffic essential in front of Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist if you want to score goals?
“It’s a key for us. We have to make some traffic. We have to make some rebounds. We have to pay some price.” Does that mean sometimes you have to wait to shoot the puck for the traffic to get there? “Not wait. Sometimes I have open space in front of me, but there is one guy for sure around me and I don’t have lots of time to think about what to do. I have to shoot quick and as hard as I can.” Would you change anything else about the way you guys played offensively in Game 1? “No, no, no. I think we played great. Well, not great. We lost the game, but if we’re going to play the same way we’re going to score some goals, for sure. In 5-on-5 we have to improve ourselves. We have to score more goals in 5-on-5.” Rangers captain Chris Drury could be back in Saturday. Any thoughts on that? “He’s a great player and a leader of their team. He was injured and now he gets more rest than everybody. Of course it’s going to be a big key for them, but it doesn’t matter for us. It’s a big time for us.
