I thought Kevin played very well and deserved the opportunity to come back and get another start. I thought we developed sort of a flow and pace to our game that showed we were in sync, and I didn't want to mess with that.

He may not have been in the blue (paint) when the shots finally came, but there were moments when he was in the blue paint. And as a goaltender, there's no way that you're going to be able to come out and cut down angles and take away a portion of the net if you're not able to extend yourself.

I'm not so sure we pushed the envelope, quite honestly. When you don't make it tough for the opponent, it's not real tough to defend. We didn't have a lot of net drive. We didn't have a lot of rebound opportunities.
