They said it

"With (Bobrovsky and Panarin) and Nash being out, it opened up opportunities for different guys. I think everybody did a great job. All four lines were rolling. To come in and do the job was key for us." -- Blue Jackets forward Anthony Duclair on the 7-3 win against Florida
"We need everyone to contribute. At the end of the day, it's not good enough to just dominate your shift. You've got to score. How do you do that? You've just got to keep doing it right and not cheat the game." -- Hurricanes coach Rod Brind'Amour
