Vegas Golden Knights coach John Tortorella had a calm and composed response after the team’s 4-3 loss to the Anaheim Ducks in Game 4.

The Golden Knights and Ducks have been going toe-to-toe in their Western Conference Second Round series, and it showed in Game 4’s thriller. The series is now tied at 2-2, with Game 5 returning to Vegas on Tuesday.

When asked in the post-game presser about his confidence that the team would get better and play deeper, Tortorella expressed strong belief and said he isn’t worried:

“I have zero worry about this team as far as how we’re going to go about the next few games wherever it goes. I have total trust,” Torts said.

On whether the Golden Knights’ third line is getting better, Tortorella added:

“Yes, I think it gave us some good minutes. I lost him a little with the penalties and the power play. Chandler Stephenson hits the crossbar, has a chance. The big guy there is Tommy. He’s seen all the power play time. He’s a good faceoff guy. He’s the one that I think needs to kick in here and hopefully him scoring a goal there is going to help him and we’ll see.”
