"I liked our game," Sharks coach Todd McLellan said. "We'll meet at the rink and I'll tell our team that.

I think we can get out and play hard again."
"We'll respond. I thought we responded well tonight. We played 60 minutes. We should have won that game. We got pucks to the net. We got in front of him. It's just tough. But our group will be ready," said Sharks defenseman Marc-Eduard Vlasic, according to NHL.com.
