"This is a tough game because we've been on the road for a long time. Obviously, the guys have played well. I'm sure everyone is anxious to get home, but we have to put that all on the back seat. We're probably playing the best team on this trip. Hopefully we answer the bell."-- Hurricanes coach Rod Brind'Amour
"What I've gotten out of a lot of our injuries is that other guys have elevated their games and proven at times that they can handle more (responsibility), that they deserve more. That's one of the positives that's come out of it." -- Avalanche coach Jared Bednar
