They said it

"It's a crazy road trip, it's been a lot of fun. We've had great team bonding, but we have a job to do tonight and that's trying to get two points and then get home and get some rest." -- Stars forward Jamie Benn on the final stop of a five-game road trip
"I feel like I can't do many positive things on the ice. Right now, I'm struggling. But it doesn't matter. The team is winning, so that's always good. But it would be nice to be able to help the team to win sometimes, because I haven't done that. But the team is the most important thing." -- Jets forward Patrik Laine
