They said it

"We've got to start putting wins together. We've got to start putting points on the board. Every game is huge for us. We've got to have another effort like we did [Saturday] night." -- Predators forward Rocco Grimaldi
"In this League, any time you sit back and receive the game, more times than not, you're going to pick the puck out of your net. It's something we've addressed, even on the bench during the games. For some reason, we can't do it right now. We're definitely looking for solutions every day." -- Ducks forward Jakob Silfverberg
