"You've got to play hard in this league, and sometimes we want to play a softer game. I'm not calling the players out, but I am calling out the fact that we have to play harder in situations, especially defensively. I'm happy we won [Wednesday], and we're two points behind Edmonton and all that stuff, but we've got to play harder defensively." -- Coyotes coach Rick Tocchet
"You need these games right now, especially against division opponents. The energy in the locker room was different. That's the message to us and around the guys: if you want that to continue, you have to keep doing things on the ice." -- Golden Knights defenseman Nate Schmidt
