Josh Morrissey:  On facing the Penguins and specifically Sidney Crosby.  Does he still have ‘wow’ moments when facing elite players like Crosby?  On simplifying their game.

Patrik Laine:  When did he realize that he could be successful at this level?  His thoughts on playing Sidney Crosby.  On the challenge that the Penguins present.  On being able to carry over his success from the last game to tonight’s game.

Coach Maurice:  Thoughts on Sidney Crosby.  Update on injured players.  When did he realize Laine could have success at the NHL level?  Looking back 12 years ago at Crosby and comparing that to Laine.  Laine’s adjustment to the North American rinks from the ones he played on in Finland.  On the importance of not taking penalties.
