Sheldon Keefe on sitting Nylander/Kapanen: “That line I just thought, maybe didn't get much going on. But also just didn't really like the other lines and how things were moving so I just wanted to mix things up.” Thought that would get Matthews rolling as well.

Keefe on Nylander/Kapanen sitting: "It's the way that it goes; some nights guys are going to play more than others. Willy had an outstanding game yesterday and was a difference-maker for us. Today it was other guys. That's part of having a team and an 82-game season."
