They said it

"Sometimes when you're not scoring, you feel like you don't want to shoot. You want to pass up opportunities, but we've got to continue to get pucks on net and they'll eventually go in." -- Red Wings forward Justin Abdelkader, who has no goals and one assist in 10 games
"Obviously, we struggled last [road trip], New Jersey [Devils] and Ottawa [Senators]. So I think this is going to be huge." -- Stars defenseman John Klingberg on their 0-2-0 road trip Oct. 15-16
