"You go into Winnipeg and you win a game and it's a tough building to play in. And then you beat the [Vegas Golden Knights] and the Jets at home again. I mean those are two really good teams, and I think that kind of fueled our confidence. That's what we talked about throughout December and January. We were lacking that confidence, and there's no real cure for it other than to kind of chip away and that's what we've done here." -- Avalanche, thoug forward Gabriel Landeskog
"There was some good and some bad. I noticed Kyle [Turris]. I thought Kyle had a terrific game, so that was good. [Viktor Arvidsson] went down there. I thought [Calle Jarnkrok] played a great game. There were some good things that the [Ryan Johansen] line did. Again, I understand and know what I have with [Arvidsson] being up with [Filip Forsberg and Johansen], so this is just a different look to see if we can get some more scoring and get a jumpstart underneath it." -- Predators coach Peter Laviolette on breaking up the Forsberg-Johansen-Arvidsson line
