Forward Colton Sissons on being in this exact situation last season, down 3-2 heading into Game 6 in Winnipeg:
"It's nice to have been though these situations, and it can be stressful. The stakes are high with a group that expects a lot out of themselves. We have won some big hockey games in situations where our backs are against the wall. Hopefully that'll give us some confidence tonight."
Sissons on appreciating the challenge of a must-win game:
"The best part about the playoffs is playing in these huge games, where if you don't win, you don't have tomorrow and nothing's guaranteed. I think we all really accept it with open arms, and we're ready to rock and roll. This is exciting stuff."
Defenseman P.K. Subban on tonight's game:
"It's a game that we've got to win. It's that simple. These are the most fun games to play because there's not much meetings needed, not much talk, not very many things that need to be said. We've been in this position before, too, we were in this situation last year in the second round [won Game 6 on the road and didn't like the result in Game 7]. We have another opportunity to have a different result."
