“It felt good,” Iginla said of his play with his linemates. “We’re all trying to keep it simple. As far as trying to get some down-low plays and some front plays, you try to win a lot of battles, get it back to the point, go to the net, and get some deflections. I got some great looks as far as one-timers and tried to shoot the puck, and not think. For the first game, it felt good all the way around as a group and as a line.”

“Where we lost Horty as far as being a big shooter and a big body on that line, I thought Iggy did a great job of that,” Bruins coach Claude Julien said. “He shot the puck well. He was solid along the walls and made some good plays. It seemed like a seamless transition.”

“And for a first day it felt good all the way around, as a group and as a line. I don’t know how they felt, but I really enjoyed playing with them. Each day I feel a little better. I feel fortunate that I’ve gotten to start with them in training camp. Each day literally we’re working through stuff, talking about where you’d like to go and seeing each other’s tendencies. We’ll keep at it and keep working, but you definitely see why they’ve been a good line for a long time.”

“It’s quite comforting that the chemistry was there in the first game that the three of us played together,” said Lucic. “I still think that it’s something we need to continue to work on it heading into the regular season.Obviously, Jarome’s a great player. He fits our identity and our team quite well. It’s good to have him here.”
