"Every point we get in the standings is important. We are slowly but surely climbing. But most important for me is that we're getting better as a team and playing to our identity. I think it's important for us to establish a comfort level in one-goal games. That for me is an indication of good teams." -- Penguins coach Mike Sullivan
"It's a tough time for everyone. We think we deserve better, but that's not how it works. You've got to put the puck in the net, and at the end of the day, you've got to win the game. The good part about it is I know the guys care." -- Hurricanes coach Rod Brind'Amour
