"We had some opportunities, we hit a few more posts. But I love how our team is competing. I think we're competing hard. We were in a one-goal hockey game. That game could go either way. It didn't go our way tonight, but we're playing hard." -- Penguins coach Mike Sullivan on the loss Tuesday
"We had that last game and it didn't work out for us. I don't think it's as big an advantage and everyone makes it out to be. If anything, you're a little fatigued. We know how we feel coming off a back to back. It shouldn't really change much. You can't go into the game thinking. 'We've got a tired team, it's going to be an easy night'... I mean, it's the National Hockey League." -- Lightning center Steven Stamkos on playing teams on a back to back
