On getting tonight's start after a tough return from injury:
"I'm excited to get a good chance to get back in the net. I feel like this last week-and-a-half or so has been good for me -- learning how to be a good teammate when I'm not playing and supporting the team, and then also giving me time to step back and be able to reset and just focus on some stuff."
On learning from teammate Ilya Samsonov:
"It's unbelievable being able to watch him, and some of the saves he's been making recently are unbelievable. He has me jumping up and down on the bench and fired up, so my goal is to be able to help the team as well as he has been."
