Brind'Amour remembers having the chance to win the Cup in 2006 and losing Game 5 at home, then Game 6 on the road to the Oilers. And the stress it created in Game 7. "We've talked about that already. It's the hardest one. We know they're not going away."

Torts, on his team, looking to Game 6: "They've been through it all. They know what's at stake here. We need to win one game. They'll be ready to play." No further update on William Karlsson injury status.
