"They played very well against Florida the other night. They look like they had some jump in their step, and they're a good hockey team. I think if you look at the underlying numbers, sometimes a team is losing when they're getting ready to win, and that might have been the case with them." -- Kings coach John Stevens on facing the Canadiens
"We made life hard on them and wore down their [defensemen], and we have to remember going forward that that's how you win games. There's no easy nights, and moving forward against L.A., that's how we have to play." -- Canadiens left wing Max Pacioretty
