“They’re a very good team, they’re playing good hockey,” said Carlo. “We’ve got to focus on the details of our game to kind of counterbalance the offensive flow they’ve got going on. Stay out of the box as best we can, they have a very high-end power play.
“Just stick to our responsibilities, starts from our end out. As long as we can protect our house moving forward from there, we should find some opportunities at the other end of the ice, just have some fun embracing the challenge.”

That’s an elite line that we’re facing here tonight,” said Sacco.
