"Right now, we're generating some chances and the puck's not going in the net. We've gone through phases where we've had fewer chances and scored many more goals. I don't know if it's a phase for us offensively. Obviously, we've got to get a little harder. And I think our back end, particularly from the blue line, could do a better job of managing the puck and getting shots through and creating for our forwards." -- Oilers coach Todd McLellan
"Well I think if he keeps improving he should be up there [with] the best. But he's made a change in the way he plays, which has helped him a lot. He's adapted to being a big-minutes player. ... He's worked hard at keeping it simple from the red line back and that's really helped his game. He's not exposed himself. He's not put himself in tough spots physically, and I think it's allowed him to be a much better player. His offensive gifts are through the roof." -- Stars coach Ken Hitchcock on John Klingberg
