"[The Capitals are] coming off a real impressive [6-1] win against Buffalo. They jumped out hard, got out into a comfortable lead in the first period and played real well. So we'll have our challenges, but you know what they are on a back-to-back. You need everybody involved, and you can't wade into the game. You've got to dive in head-first and play. So that's our challenge for tonight." -- Flames coach Bill Peters
"It's really important that we play to our team identity right from the drop of the puck. And if we can play that heavy, physical game where we're forechecking we feel strong about our team every night, let alone on a night when a team [is playing the second] of a back-to-back." -- Capitals coach Todd Reirden
