They said it

"We've had a little bit of adversity with some injuries, but I think we've done a great job managing. Guys have stepped up when they've needed to. We still have some adversity coming. We've lost a couple of our goalies, so we need to make sure that our game, which is very defensive, is going to have to stay that way." -- Coyotes defenseman Jason Demers
"We're getting there. I think we're still finding our way. We're in a good position to go on a run. … Hopefully we can really take advantage of the second half." -- Panthers forward Brett Connolly
