"We know [Duchene's] a big part of this team, one of the pillars. He's a point-per game player. If you count all the games that there's a one-goal difference, that's a lot of games. He's one of those guys who is a game-breaker, just like Stone." -- Senators coach Guy Boucher on the return of Matt Duchene to the lineup
"The game (against Columbus) came down to a goaltending battle and [Devils goalie Mackenzie Blackwood] certainly had a great performance. That's what you need. You need goaltending like that to give yourself a chance to win. As the game wore on, he got better, and our team did as well." -- Devils coach John Hynes
