"We've talked about things slowly coming together over a span of seven games or so of playing better in segments of games and defending better and making more plays, so I think things are starting to click a little bit more, whether it's our penalty kill, stopping a few more plays or even in five-on-five, us getting sorted out a little better in d-zone." -- Blackhawks defenseman Connor Murphy
"I don't mind being on any of those lines with the players we have here. When you're not on [Aleksander] Barkov's line, you're going to get a little easier of a [defensive] matchup, so you try and take advantage of that. We have good players who can be swapped in and out." -- Panthers forward Mike Hoffman after 2-1 win at Detroit on Saturday
