"(One thousand games) is a heck of an honor, but to me the consecutive (games streak) is a tougher one, that's really hard to do. It's a special thing. Phil doesn't say much about it, but people notice that it's special. A lot of the young guys really gravitate toward him because he's got a lot of experience. He's kind of an unflappable guy." -- Coyotes coach Rick Tocchet on Phil Kessel
"We want to keep this thing going, continuing to play well at home and put together a run here. We're 3-0 without having played our best hockey. There's still a lot of things we can clean up."-- Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog
