"(San Jose) was a good win, but it's (just one) win. Tonight's a new game. We've got to come out and play extremely hard from the drop of the puck. They're going to come out and play hard like they always do. They get to the net hard in the offensive zone, they get tons of pucks to the net." -- Detroit coach Jeff Blashill
"They've got a lot of team speed with Anthanasiou and Larkin. They've got a real good checking line they put together halfway through the game against San Jose with Helm, Glendening and Nielsen. A very good team, and Mrazek is on a roll. A very capable team. We're going to have to play well to get the win." -- Hurricanes coach Bill Peters
