Patrik Laine
Coach Maurice: What’s it like getting ready for the finale of the Global Series? Getting out of the gate on the right skate. Playing same team in back-to-back scenarios. What did he say to Patrik Laine after the game? On what Laine was able to do on a stage like that? Did he see the confidence come back after Laine’s first goal? Is there something wrong with Kulikov’s game? Any lineup changes?
