They said it

"Obviously they're on a roll, but we've just got to worry about our game and do what we do well and just build off of last game. We played well for the most part. Just continue to build and be thorough through the process." -- Devils forward Brian Gibbons
"I think just playing as a team. There's different guys stepping up every game. There's always a different guy scoring goals or blocking a big shot, playing well defensively. Obviously our goaltender has been unbelievable. I think our depth, just guys stepping up in different situations, it's huge for us and that's why we can play so consistent." -- Predators defenseman Roman Josi on the winning streak
