Ducks head coach Joel Quenneville on Frank Vatrano:

β€œHe went through a really tough timeβ€”and knowing Frankie from before. We know what he's all about. Great teammate. I think he’s loved everywhere he goes and everybody he touches in this game.”

And they're both vocal guys in the locker and on the ice. They try to make our young guys' jobs easier. Just super happy they're able to jump right in and get on the scoresheet.” (2/2)

Gauthier on Vatrano+Ryan Strome making an impact in their return to the lineup:

β€œIt’s huge. These guys are veterans on our team. They've seen it all. It’s hard to jump right back in the lineup after six weeks of not playing hockey and make a big impact like that. (1/2)

Super happy with the way he handled himself, coming back in the lineup and playing a hard game and was able to get the empty netter and play a big role on Poehling’s goal.” (2/2)

Cutter Gauthier on Frank Vatrano scoring in his return to the lineup:

β€œSuper happy that he's healthy and back and was able to recover in a timely manner, right before these last 20 games or so. (1/2)

Cutter Gauthier on Ville Husso:

β€œStepping right in since I think it was January, a true testament to his character, his skills and his ability to perform. It doesn't matter who's in the net for us, we're super confident in both of our goalies. Super happy for him.”

Cutter Gauthier on tonight’s performance:

β€œWe didn't like how we played the other night against Colorado… I thought it was a great response from all the guys. Full 60 minutes to get that win and keep moving in the right direction.”

Did Husso think about a potential goalie goal with the net open that early?

β€œA little bit, especially when the game was 4-1. But they didn’t really dump the puck, so just try to stay focused and try to make the next save.”

Husso on the team hunkering down when Roy pulled Rittich for the extra attacker midway through the third:

β€œWe did a great job. I don't think there was any shots from the middle, really, from the house. Guys did hell of a job and got that fifth goal right there.”

Alex Killorn noted how fortunate they’ve been to come back in some of these games and praised their resilience.

But…

β€œWe’ve got to find a way to get some leads and have some better starts so we don't have to rely on doing that at the end of the game.”

More Killorn:

β€œThey played last night and we really didn't take advantage of that in terms of making their D break pucks out and (putting) pucks behind them and (making) it hard on them. It was just too easy of a night for them.”

Alex Killorn on tonight’s performance:

β€œA lot of these games, we've been able to come back. But against a team like that, can't spot them two goals. They're just too good... After they scored those two, we fought back a little bit, but it just wasn't enough.”
