"We liked a lot of things about what we did in our last game, and number one was our urgency and relentlessness. I think we need to pick that back up right off the start of this game because Detroit is a young team that plays hard regardless of their record. We certainly aren't in a position to take anyone lightly." -- Sharks coach Bob Boughner
"We've got nine wins at New Year's Eve, so we obviously have to find a way to start generating wins. That starts with our best players and our leaders, and that means me. I'm probably harder on myself than anyone, but that's OK. I know all of us are working to get better and better, and that's the only way to get out of this." -- Red Wings center Dylan Larkin
