Torts: "In back to backs, it's which team gives in a bit mentally."
Here's the coach on why this game against the Jets is important:
"When you go into back to back situations and we’re 3-1-1 on our homestand, these are huge points come March and April. We’ve done OK, I don’t think we’ve played great hockey, but we’ve found ways to win.... it’s finishing it the right way. In back to backs, it’s which team gives in a little bit mentally. That’s my concern. These (points) are what gets you in. That’s the way I think you need to approach it.”
