Craig Berube on Matthew Knies' impact in front of the net vs. the Senators: "He's bought into it... He scored most of his goals 10 feet or closer to the net this season... That's his game"

Head coach Craig Berube highlighted the approach to Game 4, emphasizing that individual focus on execution remains paramount in an elimination game. He observed that the team's mood stays consistent, characterized by business-like eagerness. Discussing player development, Berube mentioned Simon Benoit as a testament to how players can mature later in their careers while continuing to refine their skills, stressing the importance of ongoing development through offseason training with coaches to enhance their game.

"I don't think there is a different approach... Each individual on the team needs to focus on their shift, what they need to do, and the process of it all."

"There are a lot of guys who mature at a later age in their game with their development. They grow as players and get better... Guys work on their game so much nowadays that there is improvement all the time."
