They said it

"I think last year I proved that I have that ability [to bounce back] and I'm looking to do that again tonight. The last game wasn't my best outing and I'm looking to continue the trend I had last year and have a good bounce-back game tonight." -- Talbot
"We're not happy about it [0-2-0 start], but that's the way hockey is, it's two out of 82 games. We know we have to better, and tonight is another chance against a pretty good challenge in Edmonton and we definitely have to be ready for it for a full 60 minutes." -- Jets center Mark Scheifele
