SAY WHAT - 'CONSUMMATE TEAM GUY'

DUBE ON FACING THE SENS:

ON THE PLAYOFF PUSH:

"There's a lot of commitment from guys. Throughout this year, there's been a lot of ups and downs and I think it brings guys really close together. We know there's a lot in this locker-room and guys who really want to get the job done. When we get those Dallas, Minnesota (games), you're winning those, and the emotion you feel after … You really want to win together, because it's a lot of fun. When you go through a lot of those tight games and you're not getting the results, when you do get them, it's important and guys really want that."

HANIFIN ON BELIEF IN THE ROOM:

"We can only control what we can control. I think we talked as a group and obviously the last game was disappointing for us, but all we can do now is continue to move forward and push and play the best hockey we can. Hopefully if we can get a few wins going together, that can accelerate us and make us feel a little more positive in here. Just got to come out and Ottawa's in a similar position, they're battling for a playoff spot and they're a good, tough team to play against. It's going to be a big challenge for us here tonight and it will be good to see how we come out and respond."

RUZICKA ON BEING OUT OF THE LINEUP RECENTLY:

"Obviously, a little frustrating, right? Just day-to-day and work hard."

ON HIS SEASON AS A WHOLE:

"Obviously, could be better, could be worse. I only look at day-by-day right? I'm coming to practice, I'm looking at that specific day. I'm not looking at the past, what I did, or what I'm going to do. Today's a new day and concentrate on the things I've got to work on and it's a present time, right?"

SUTTER ON WHAT RUZICKA NEEDS TO DO:

"Maximize his skill-set every day."

ON DUBE'S VERSATILITY:

"Really important. Play all three positions, plays a lot of situations. Special teams. He's a pretty consummate team guy to do all those things for you. With Dillon, it's part of his growth, right? Where he is. He's done a good job for us."

ON HUBERDEAU GOING BACK TO LEFT WING:

"Production. Bottom line is, Naz and Jonny play together. Obviously, everybody just looks at goals, assists and points, but when you (look at it), when those guys get you a goal, an assist or a point, we have a good record. When they don't, we don't. I don't think it makes much difference what position he plays. It's more about the whole game for him."
