Coyle's linemate, James van Riemsdyk, echoed Montgomery's sentiments, saying,
"He's definitely a horse in the offensive zone with a puck like that. He draws the extra guy to him, so there's lots of open ice out there, and that's kind of what happened on the goal. I think he had a lot of eyes on him, and we were able to find some soft ice and get a couple extra whacks at it."
