"As [Rakell] was coming by the bench, our whole bench was counting the clock for him. As he was coming up the ice, it was the whole bench literally an orchestra of 6, 5 … they were counting it down. … The communication there obviously helped, but he's a smart shooter. He's really struggled to score as of late. It's been wearing on him. To see him get rewarded like that, especially in overtime, those goals are special. We're elated for him."-- Ducks coach Dallas Eakins
"It was a tight-checking game. I don't think it was anything crazy, but they obviously have a lot of pride to play for and a lot of young guys, a lot of new guys trying to impress a new team. I thought we responded pretty good. I thought we should have won this one, but you let them hang around and you don't capitalize on your chances -- we had plenty of them -- and you end up with one point. We just have to start a new streak, I guess." -- Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog
