They said it

"Luckily we don't have too much time to kind of think about it. Like I said, we played good, we just didn't get the results. I think we played a really smart road game, so I think against a good team like the Jets tomorrow we got to do the same. We got to prepare to go every shift for 60 minutes." -- Golden Knights defenseman Luca Sbisa, who returned Thursday after missing seven games because of a lower-body injury
"They played last night so we need to play hard right away, right away from the start. Just try to play our game, try and get a full 60 minutes and hopefully that's enough today." -- Jets forward Patrik Laine
