They said it

"We want to come out with goals on little things so we can kind of compartmentalize it in a way, so going into the [All-Star] break we can know exactly how it went." -- Ducks defenseman Josh Manson on Anaheim's road trip
"We're 1-2-0 on this four-game homestand, so it'd be nice to get a win tonight, feel good about ourselves. We have six games before the All-Star break and bye week, and it'd be a good time to get hot and feel good about ourselves going into it." -- Blackhawks forward Patrick Kane
