"I think it's a vicious cycle of getting behind, trying not to make mistakes, not helping the next guy. It's tough to play when you're maybe nervous about making a mistake, thinking about it, the support, the battle. It's just an unacceptable game." -- Sharks defenseman Brent Burns
"Great goaltending, great from the net out, I thought we were good. When we needed the saves, we got them. I thought the [defensemen] did an excellent job on the rush coverage and moved the puck really efficiently, in and out of our zone. And real good commitment by our forwards." -- Avalanche coach Jared Bednar
"It was tough losing so many different ways, but at the end of the day, we're just touching up things. Wins right now matter, but it's the next half that's going to propel us into the [Stanley Cup] Playoffs. At the end of the day, it's good to get the win." -- Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar on their first win in five games
