"It was a pretty tight game, and I would say we had a couple more scoring chances, but we made the kind of mistakes that have been costing us for some time. In tight games, like we could see tonight, those are very costly." -- Canadiens coach Claude Julien on his team's defensive breakdowns against the Wild on Monday
"I'm not that surprised by the Canadiens, because they are a hard-working team with some very talented players. They've got four lines who work hard every shift, they've got good players on the blue line and they've got scorers like (Brendan) Gallagher, (Max) Domi and, obviously (Tatar)."-- Red Wings defenseman Niklas Kronwall
