    View quote in context »
    Kovalchuk has accounted for nine of the team’s 28 goals (36 percent) as well as three of the team’s nine power-play goals (33 percent). "You’ve got to score one [goal] to win a game ... We’ve got to pick it up collectively. Hopefully Kozy [Slava Kozlov], Lits [Bryan Little] can score more for sure. Whitey [Todd White] can score more. ... That should help." Nik Antropov, Kozlov and White have yet to score in eight games this season. Full Article at Atlanta Journal Constitution

  3. You have to stop the puck ... I’m just focused on my game. It’s not going to be any more pressure on me. It’s going to be another game. I believe some other guys are going to step up and score the goals for Kovy.

  4. I think goaltending is always most important ... You won’t win without good goaltending, game in and game out. There [needs to be] more emphasis on a team effort. Kovy can turn the game around himself but when he’s not in here, we have to realize we’re not going to be able to come back from three goals ...

  5. Everybody knows what Kovy means to the team ... Sometimes with Kovy, he might score three goals on his own. We have to realize now we’ll have to win the game 2-1 or 1-0. ... We must think defense first and go from there.
