'YOTES QUOTES:
• "Nashville is built to win Stanley Cups. Their team is really, really good, so we have to be better at breakouts and make sure we work hard away from the puck. We've slipped the last two, three weeks. We've lost our identity. We've got to get it back. We obviously need some guys to play better. We all know that. I think when we do the right things we can be a competitive team and win, and when we don't, we struggle." -- Rick Tocchet
• "We were a desperate team in the third period the other night vs. Minnesota, and I think if we can play that same way from the start of games we'll be a really tough team to beat. Nashville is one of the top teams in the League and they have a lot of elite players and a good goalie, so we have to try to limit our mistakes, not get down early and battle throughout the full game." -- Lawson Crouse
• "It's exciting. I've always wanted to come to Nashville. They have a good team, especially on home ice, and a good crowd behind them, so it will be fun to get a chance to play in front of the crowd here." -- Adin Hill
