"I think we've had our moments the past three games where we've been really good but we haven't been able to sustain it. We're never going to be perfect for 60 minutes, but we'd like to control more of the tempo and pace of the game."-- Blackhawks coach Jeremy Colliton "Stringing together wins has been elusive to us this year, so far but we're just past the midway point in the season and you see teams go on runs and we're just looking to be that team. A streak starts with two so let's focus on [Monday] with a big week ahead of us entering the break." -- Devils right wing Kyle Palmieri
