"We're going to have to realize that every game is going to be so important, going to pretty much the end of the season. The West is so tough to get into the playoffs, so we've got to be ready to play every night. Tonight's a good test for us against a good team like Washington to prove we can play against these guys." -- Blackhawks forward Patrick Kane
"The best penalty kill in the world right there is 0-for-0. That's what you want to see on the other side. But part of that discipline is we're skating better, we're forechecking better." -- Capitals coach Barry Trotz, whose team hasn't given opponents more than three power plays in any of the past six games
