"[Grabner] is really explosive and a really good penalty-killer; I'm sure he's excited going to a team that's in a pretty good position and close to home. Obviously, his first game against us, where he had some good years. He works hard and he's found that scoring touch so it'll be a challenge for us." -- Islanders coach Doug Weight
"In my first game as a Ranger, I played against the Islanders, so this is becoming a pattern. Obviously, I don't care who we play, but if you look at the standings we could be gain a little more breathing room so I'm just going to do my best and help the team win tonight." -- Devils forward Michael Grabner
