Say What - 'Play With Pace'

Andrei Kuzmenko on building a relationship with Huberdeau:

"Jonathan, wow, is so great. He’s a very good guy, very happy guy, he’s a big support for me."

On bringing energy to the team:

"You know, guys that for me are positive, I’m positive two, three (times) more. It’s a very important moment for me, how the big relationships (are) in the locker-room. These guys are happy to me, I want to give three more, two more, four more (times the) energy."

Jonathan Huberdeau on moving forward after the road trip:

"We played some really good teams and we came out with a lot of points on that road trip. Obviously, the Rangers was a tough one for us, but it was at the end of it (the road trip). Now we’re coming back home, a lot of home games; I think we can be better at home, so that’s the kind of stretch that we need to get a lot of points, and get into a playoff spot."

On Jakob Pelletier's latest injury being a day-to-day thing:

"He’s put a lot of work in to come back, and it sucks for him to go back (injured); I was happy that it’s, you know, minor. I’ve got to take care of my son."

Brayden Pachal on his first four games as a Flame:

"I think coming in, with it being on the road is awesome, it gives you no choice but to hang out with the guys and get to know everybody. Everyone in the organization’s been super-welcoming, and I’m super-excited to be here."

On building chemistry with Oliver Kylington:

"I think we’ve played super-well together, our games complement each other. We’ve gotten out of trouble a lot with our feet and our communication’s been great, so definitely looking forward to keep building that with him."

Ryan Huska on how the Huberdeau - Sharangovich - Kuzmenko line can continue to succeed:

"That’s the key thing for that line is they have to play with pace, they have to find that pace to allow them to play in the offensive zone, ‘cause once they’re in there, they can make plays now. We’ve seen over those games that they have the ability, all three of them can get some things done."

On being able to roll four lines and three defensive pairings:

"I think that’s one of the biggest changes in our team, so when you have everybody feeling like they’re of value, where they can contribute to the team, they feel better about themselves. On the flip side of things, it’s taken away some of the heavier minutes from, let’s call it, our top four, or our top forward lines. Fatigue doesn’t really hit the body, because they’re well-conditioned athletes, but it hits the mind."
