The Tampa Bay Lightning said all the right things.
Yes, they are confident their first-round playoff series against New Jersey will go the distance. No, it won't be easy to overcome a 3-2 deficit against Devils goalie Martin Brodeur. And, yes, it would be nice - though not imperative - to get an offensive boost from someone not named Vincent Lecavalier or Martin St. Louis.
Game 6 is Sunday.
"We have to win. That's what it comes down to," Lightning forward Jason Ward said Saturday. "It doesn't matter if it's 1-0 and Vinny scores, or it's 4-3 and four guys who haven't scored at all score."
