"He's a winner. I don't know what the stat is for him, but I know what he equals is winning. He wins his shift over and over and over again. That's what he does. He goes out and he can play against anybody in the League. He's great on the kill, great defensively, does tons of good stuff. He's a net-presence guy, which is how he scored. We talked a lot about getting back to scoring dirty, and we felt like we weren't getting enough net presence like we had for a long stretch. He goes right to the net and that's how he scores." -- Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill on Luke Glendening
"I was kind of cheating. I thought that he might try to make a play in front of the net and that's on me. I left the short side open and he was able to put it in. Obviously, it stings a bit. I mean, that's a winning goal in a game and it's not a great one, so for sure that's on me. Like I said, it's disappointing. I felt like we got a good effort from the guys and played a pretty good game, so pretty disappointing to end a game like that on a personal note, too." -- Predators goalie Pekka Rinne on Andreas Athanasiou's goal
