"Alberta is a place where I spent a lot of years of my life, so it's always special to me and it's always a game that I look forward to and get to see some friends in town. It's always fun to come back here." -- Coyotes forward Taylor Hall on returning to Edmonton

"It is tight and it's going to be tight for the rest of the year. It's fun when it's tight and every point matters, especially here with the divisional games. It's going to be real crucial for us to be ready and try to get some points out of them." -- Oilers defenseman Oscar Klefbom on the race in the Pacific
