"It had a little bit of everything -- good start. We got into a bit of penalty trouble. They claw back as we expected. They're a very scrappy, competitive team. They don't go away, nor do we. We talked about that between periods. 'We got to respond here a little bit and push,' and I thought we did that late in the third."-- Kings coach Todd McLellan after the Pittsburgh loss
"Obviously we went through an extremely difficult stretch there, but I find that the last four or five games we played really well. We just had some bad bounces that ended up in the net. But the last two games, we've had luck, and sometimes that's what it takes to get things going." -- Red Wings goalie Jonathan Bernier
