Frank Fedorjaka on Carolan: "Rick is now a second-year faceoff man, so he's finally a veteran in terms of facing off. He has worked really hard and has gotten much better as he has become more seasoned. He is really focused on understanding what his weaknesses were and getting better. He is getting out of his stance a little quicker, getting to the ball a little quicker and controlling the ball a little better after he gets to it."
