“Montembeault was excellent. We’ll get the win and we’ll enjoy it. The result is good for morale. Errors are corrected. We needed this win for our team. »

With the Penguins 2-0 less than five minutes into the first period, St. Louis didn’t feel like they were reliving the scenario of the last game against the Colorado Avalanche.
“I stayed calm. The boys knew. It wasn’t a question of effort. We played against a good team. If you make a few mistakes, it ends with a bang! It’s hard to get angry. In the circumstances we are in, the boys give a lot. Monday wasn’t a good game against the Avalanche. »

Author of the winning goal thanks to a great Justin Barron pass, Anthony Richard described the feeling of this win over the Penguins as one of relief.
” It feels good. Especially after we lost 2-0, we looked at each other on the bench and felt like we were watching the last game again. We thought it would be difficult to play against for many seasons one of the good teams in the NHL to come back. But we found a way to bounce back with four goals in the first game. We had good legs despite a second game in two nights.”
