"We can find ways to improve, and that's just how it is early in the season. But we're finding ways to win hockey games right now, and that's really all that matters. We'll keep fine-tuning our game and polishing it up and try and work our way to the top of the West and maybe the top of the League." -- Predators center Ryan Johansen following their win against the Blues on Friday
"The [Kyle] Turris trade seems to have given [the Predators] more balance up front. They're very deep down the middle. They're very aggressive in the offensive zone with their defense holding the line and being active in high cycles."-- Hurricanes coach Bill Peters
