SAY WHAT: 'IT MEANT A LOT'

ON WHAT THIS DOES FOR HIS SEASON:

"It gives you confidence, but at the same time, one game doesn't change everything that's gone on during the year. It doesn't change me being consistent every night. You want to keep rolling off it and it's and it's nice to have a night like that, but it doesn't change the 20 games before. I just want to continue with those two guys. It was fun playing with them tonight and the chemistry we had."

JOSH LEIVO ON SCORING FIRST AS A FLAME:

"It meant a lot. To help the boys get a big win like that obviously feels good, but to get that one off my back... It's been a while - over a year now since I've scored, so that one felt really good."

ON GETTING MONKEY OFF HIS BACK:

"You're always thinking about it. Obviously, when you feel like you're a point-getter, a goal-scorer, you're always thinking about it. Felt great to get that one, but it was an even better win from the team."

MATTHEW TKACHUK ON A BIG TWO POINTS:

"We have to play that way, because if we don't, we're going to lose a lot more games than we win. I've said it numerous, numerous times, we need to get to our hits early, set the tone right away, play fast with the puck in their zone. And anything you get a three-goal lead like we got in the first, we'll take that."
