We all aren't satisfied with the way we're playing, we all have more to prove, and that's a good sign." -- Rangers forward Brett Howden "There has to be a sense of urgency every day. You understand how important points are throughout the entire year. We had a stretch where we were playing a lot of hockey and didn't have a chance to breathe and reset, and we've got that here now." -- Oilers forward Sam Gagner
