Jared Bednar says special teams lead to Colorado's Game 2 victory vs the Wild

You know, um, there's a lot of things that you can take away from the positive in this first six games of the postseason, but what about last night did you like the most?

Well, I like the fact that we got back to defending the right way [laughs] after, uh, a crazy game one, and then we still were able to ...

Like, we played with great speed and, and pace to our game offensively.

And I mean, there's lots of things.

The, the bounce back from Wedge.

The power play looked fantastic.

I think there's lots of positives to take out of last night's game.

Oh-

You know, everybody was a difference-maker last night, but there was one particular sequence, um, at the 13-minute mark after your team took a 2-1 lead.

You go on the PK, they're on the power play, and they are just putting rubber at the g- at the net, and Wedgie would not be penetrated at that point.

Nothing got by him.

Six saves on one PK effort.

And I thought after that he just grew with confidence.

I thought that was a difference-maker.

No question.

That, that was a huge penalty kill.

We- th- they- that was the most dangerous that they were in the game, and it all came at a key time.

And, and like you said, Wedge comes up with six saves.

Um, and then, you know, I think our pow- our penalty kill learned a little bit from that power play and what they would try and do, and, uh, did a better job on the second one that we took.

But th- those were- there's a bunch of huge moments in that game for me and, and, um, that was definitely a, [laughs] a, a big one.

Uh, we came up with some good blocks when we needed them.

We got some big saves when we needed them.

We got timely goals.

Um, and, and I think s- like, ultimately special teams won us the hockey game.
