Nikolaj Ehlers

Jacob Trouba

Coach Maurice:  Getting a chance to have a time for practice.  What is the message to the group?  Is there something the road teams have has success in doing in the opposition building?  Importance of first goal in this game.  Did he expect the series to be this even?  Does he see anything wrong in Nikolaj Ehlers game?  On moving Ehlers around.  Is Ehlers doing the things he needs to do when he doesn’t have the puck?  On bringing motivation to game 7.  Is goaltending more important in a game 7?  Is this a team that drives itself so he isn’t required to give a fire and brimstone speech?
