"You got to stick with it, especially against teams that seem to hunker down defensively and not give you much, and [the Wild] have some skill that can burn you if you want to open the game up. We just really want to focus on what we're doing well and why we've been successful the last three games and continue that tonight." -- Flames goaltender Mike Smith
"I don't know when we've had a conversation when points aren't at a premium. It's tough, there's always that log jam down for that wild-card spot [in the Western Conference]. … These are important games for us while these other teams aren't playing to try make a little push and climb in the standings. But we don't want to look too far ahead and we know it's going to be a tough game tonight." -- Wild forward Zach Parise
