They said it

"We played a hard-fought game [on Saturday]. In a 1-0 game, you don't want to be on the losing end of it but I think we played good. We could have done some things different…We just have to get to the blue paint and I think that's what we're going to do tonight." -- Flyers defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere
"You just got to take it as another game. I know it's the cliché answer but … that's really how you get into a roll in the season is forgetting about previous games, wins and losses, and treat this game the same way we treated the game going into Philly. …This is an opponent that's got a lot of offensive skill and it's going to be a challenge for us." -- Wild goaltender Devan Dubnyk
