Watson on Brandsegg-Nyg\u00e5rd\u2019s game translating to North America<\/p>\n
\u201cWe can see that he\u2019s a competitor. He\u2019s winning a lot of 50-50 battles with the stick and his body. He\u2019s got that quick release shot, so anything in tight you know he\u2019s going to get that off. He got rewarded for that tonight. He\u2019s a physical player who gets right in there.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lombardi on what areas of his game he focused on this offseason<\/p>\n
\u201cStrength is a big one. I gained some weight\u2026.The biggest one for me, obviously, is face-offs. You can never get too good at those. And defensively, just being responsible and playing a 200-foot game.\u201d<\/p>\n
Brandsegg-Nyg\u00e5rd on tapping into his AHL experience this weekend<\/p>\n
\u201cIt helps a lot. I got a feeling on how the hockey is over here, how tough it is and the physical part. I feel like I know what to expect and I\u2019m comfortable for next season.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"POSTGAME QUOTES Watson on Brandsegg-Nyg\u00e5rd\u2019s game translating to North America \u201cWe can see that he\u2019s a competitor.
