They said it

"We obviously wanted to play a good game on the road. We've been good all year on the road, so we kind of had a good feeling going into this game that we were going to bounce back and have a good game. It's nice to get a win." -- Coyotes defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson on a 5-2 win at the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday
"Every game you can see him trying to make sure that we're moving in the right direction. It's visible to everybody who watches the game, the way he attacks it from the defensive zone through the neutral zone and in the offensive zone. His defense has been outstanding, and his offense shines every night. He's been on top of his game the entire year." -- Predators coach Peter Laviolette on defenseman Roman Josi
