"The last two games we played, we weren't happy with the way we played. But obviously, I think just a little break like that, I think it's going to be important for us to start on the right path again. Obviously, guys are excited to be here; we had two good skates yesterday and this morning, so it should be a fun night." -- Senators defenseman Thomas Chabot
"We've got to play a real solid game. With Ottawa, surprisingly they're very, very good offensively. Even with the loss of (Erik) Karlsson, the young (Thomas) Chabot kid has stepped up and been really, really active on the back end. I think their back end is in the top four or five in the League in terms of offense. We've got to respect what they do and make sure we execute what we need to do and see if we can get a win." -- Islanders coach Barry Trotz
