"We were excited to get him back in and what a better chance, what a better test than this? When I told him coming out of the [All-Star] break that he was going to have the Boston game, he was excited, and that's what you're hoping to hear." -- Blues coach Mike Yeo on the decision to start goaltender Jake Allen
"It's crept in and it's not just one of those out-of-the-blue things, it is part of our makeup now that we have to change.

Whether that translates or not, we'll find out." -- Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy on Boston needing a better start after allowing the first goal in eight straight games
