"I'm expecting him to play the exact same game he's played over the course of his career: exceptionally consistent in a details game. He's in the right spots, he competes in those right spots, his stick's good, his reads are right." -- Jets coach Paul Maurice on defenseman Dylan DeMelo
"He's a no maintenance player. He's always prepared, he comes to the rink, he stretches, he does all the things he needs to do. And he shows up to play every night. He's a guy that's been around the League long enough now that he doesn't go running out of position, makes a lot of smart plays. [He'll be] having the best game and you don't even notice him; all of a sudden, you go to the tape and he broke up five or six plays." -- Senators coach D.J. Smith on DeMelo
