"He's been one of our leading goal scorers for a while and brings a lot of energy to our group and plays the way we like to play. It'd be nice to have our full lineup in for once this season. This might be the first game if we do get everybody back tonight." -- Ducks captain Ryan Getzlaf on Corey Perry possibly returning to the lineup "We understand that we need to be better in here and we need to be better consistently. It's not just a one-and-done kind of league. If we want to make some hay here, we've got to put it together for a stretch of time." -- Flames goaltender Mike Smith
