ATLANTA, GEORGIA
Q. Brian was just talking about your shootout success. And for a young guy you surprised a lot of people around the league by coming up and playing so well early. Just talk a little about the shootout, your success early on with all those injuries on defense for van cure?
ALEXANDER EDLER: Well, the shootout, I don't know. I got the chance we played the Islanders. I don't know, I guess it was a little bit of luck. I scored and I got a chance again, and I scored again.
I don't know. It's fun to be in the shootout, of course.
Q. Not nervous at all?
ALEXANDER EDLER: No, not really. No, if you miss, you miss. If you score, you score. I don't know, the first time there were a lot of other guys that missed before me. I don't know, maybe that helped.
Q. Who was your idol growing up?
ALEXANDER EDLER: Well, when I was a little kid I really liked Forsberg. But then when I decided to be a Demon I think like Lidstrom and Olen were my biggest idols.
Q. And Mathias, your teammate has helped you along in the early part of your career?
ALEXANDER EDLER: Yeah, he's a great guy. Really good player. I like the style he's playing. He's been really helpful.
Q. Good luck the rest of the way.
