"[Minnesota was] really good against us last year, they played really hard against us. They're a skilled team, their defensemen moved the puck real well. All three games against us last year they played great hockey. They deserved to win those games. We just got to make sure we're better tonight, especially in this building." --Golden Knights coach Gerrard Gallant
"[Vegas has] four lines that can play, six defensemen that can play. They usually bring it every night. They're good, their goaltender is exceptional, so they're good. There are no weak links on their team. That's one of the reasons they were so successful last year, you couldn't find a chink in their armor. It's something that if we don't bring our A-game with everybody playing, they're going to find ways to manipulate around that and win the game." -- Wild coach Bruce Boudreau
