What was the hot lap like and what was it like out there?

Nervous a little bit, but after that first lap, first shot, wanted to get that first shift out of the way too, so once all of that was done, I'm cruising.

What has the last week been like for you, and how did the Preds tell you that you were going to make your NHL debut tonight?

Yeah, no, last week has been a lot of emotions, a lot of trouble, but everything's for the best, though, and I've been enjoying every day since.

And, I mean, it's in practice, the pairings.

I knew they wanted to give me a look, and I didn't know if it was going to be soon enough.

So, yeah, it was today.
