Say What - 'Want Us To Play With The Lead'

Nazem Kadri on the break and two practice days:

"Throughout the course of the season, you take a lot of options in practicing, just ‘cause the schedule’s so hectic, and prior to this break, I think the schedule was pretty busy. Nice to end off with a win, and another big one tonight."

On facing the Sabres tonight:

"They’re a skilled team, like to play with pace and obviously, they’re capable of scoring goals. I think their powerplay’s been really good also, so discipline is going to be a key tonight. Hopefully, we can come out with a big W."

Clark Bishop on being recalled from the Wranglers:

"It’s awesome. It’s been a little while since I’ve played an NHL game. I think it just proves keep working hard, and good things can happen."

On his style of play:

"It’s a 200-foot game, pretty simple. Hard in on the fore-check, good defensively. Just a good, reliable player."

Ryan Huska on what Bishop brings to the table:

"He’s a hard player, and I think our fourth line hasn’t been great over the last little while. He’s also a good penalty-killer at the American League level, so we felt it was a good time to give him an opportunity."

On giving Dustin Wolf a run of games:

"Both of our goaltenders have been good. Dustin’s found a way to win games for us, and the stretch that we’re in, we need as many points as we can. So it kinda comes down to that a little bit, where he’s been able to finish the job."

On the importance of a strong start against Buffalo:

"For us, having been off for a little bit, that start becomes more of a priority for us tonight. So we want to make sure that we’re the team that’s initiating. I want us to play with the lead, so we have to find a way to be hungry around the net early on, and make sure the decisions that we make with the puck put us in positions to get some chances."
