They said it

"Power play has got to be lethal for us. With the type of talent that we have, that should be and it has been for quite some time. Maybe it's gone dry a little bit, but we've got to have that be a difference-maker for us that it can be." -- Maple Leafs coach Sheldon Keefe on their power play, which is 0-for-11 in its past four games
"He's really struggled to score as of late. It's been wearing on him. To see him get rewarded like that, especially in overtime, those goals are special. We're elated for him."-- Ducks coach Dallas Eakins on forward Rickard Rakell
