I don't know what happened. It was a lucky break for us, and we'll take it. It was an important game for us.
It was nice to score a goal. I haven't scored in a while. The most important thing is we won the game.
I was trying to get there and sweep the puck away. It was an unfortunate mistake and took our momentum away.
I'm very grateful to get back here and get a lot of support from my teammates and everybody. It was very important. I'm trying to keep very positive about everything.
