They said it

"What we've learned over these past few games is that no lead is safe. When we have the lead we have to keep it and when we're down by a few goals we have to crawl back and I think we've been doing a good job of that." -- Panthers forward Frank Vatrano

"Good teams have confidence in themselves. Good teams have the confidence that they can come back, but it's more with how you're playing. If you feel you're playing a decent game, you're not just holding on, then you feel like you can come back." -- Oilers coach Dave Tippett on the come-from-behind win against the Capitals
