Those upstairs need to pay a little more attention.<\/p><cite>Tom Wilson<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n<p>Wilson, key in the victory, commented after the match that the team managed to tie the series at 1-1. One of his two blocks was crucial in the first period, preventing a clear scoring opportunity for Jordan Staal.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>He does everything the right way. We feed off that. I think the whole rink fed off that. A big part of the reason we won tonight.<\/p><cite>Logan Thompson<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n<p>Despite the statistics, Wilson&#8217;s presence was felt throughout the defensive zone and also in the attack. He assisted on John Carlson&#8217;s goal in the third period, which proved to be the game-winner, and sealed the victory with an empty-net goal.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Obviously, he set the tone. He is our leader. He plays smart. He plays physical. He scored a great goal.<\/p><cite>Alex Ovechkin<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n<p>The team needed this performance after losing the first game in overtime. Wilson and his line, which included Connor McMichael and Pierre-Luc Dubois, were dominated by Carolina in the first encounter.<\/p>\n\n<p>Coach Spencer Carbery highlighted Wilson&#8217;s improvement and the group&#8217;s leadership, inspiring the team to improve.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>When we don&#8217;t perform to our standard, so to speak, it angers them. They don&#8217;t feel good about it. Then they take concrete steps to fix it and make sure it doesn&#8217;t look like that again.<\/p><cite>Spencer Carbery<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n<p>Carbery also highlighted that Wilson was the first to seek solutions after the defeat in the first game.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>It&#8217;s easy for some people to feel uncomfortable with defeat and move on the next day. It&#8217;s a very different thing to do something about it in your preparation and then go out and meet the challenge.
