They said it

"We had a tough game [Monday]. We got to play harder and we got to play a little better on the road to win and we know that. ... We have to get ready for the New York Rangers [tonight]. We weren't happy with this performance, but we have to get ready for the next one." -- Golden Knights coach Gerard Gallant after the loss to the Islanders
"Right now, everyone in this room has to focus on our own performance and figure out how we can help the group. If we have 20 guys doing that, we're going to have a good chance of winning the game."-- Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist
