Coach pre-game audio:
Paul Maurice: Same lineup? Biggest challenge finding continuity in the lines? Does he prefer to hard on what happened last night or move forward? On his comments last night about the goalies. On the challenge tonight. Harder to keep the team focused after wins vs. tough losses? Is there a mental element to the 2nd period?
