He stepped in there and did a great job, coming in off the bench isn’t easy. We started to play our style of hockey. From there, we started to roll and knew we could compete.

It was a great win for us. I can’t say anything less about Cole. (Playing well in front of Quinn, Canada’s Olympic team coach) was not something I was focusing on, but wanted to make...

He’s by far, I think, the best rookie this season. And he’s going to be a great player for a long time.

For him to ask me to go shake his hand on his farewell night, it was a little bit of a shock for me.

I’m feeling more comfortable, more confident, … I’m just feeling real good on the ice right now and the puck is finding me.

He was awesome for us,

When that happens, you can feel it coming.

We’ve definitely got to try to get pucks deep. We’ve got to play a much better North-South game.

It could have been.

He was awesome for us. Ottawa is one of the best teams in the league and anytime you can grind one out and win its great.

Washington has some good young players and some skill, particularly with Ovechkin. We played Pittsburgh [in Friday’s home opener], and there was a lot of talk about Sidney Crosby [this season’s No. 1 pick]. In...

You never want to lose three games in a row, let alone going into a break. Go into the break and rejuvenate and come back and be ready to go.

I remember watching him,

I got a head of steam going when I picked his pass off and went the other way, … It was just nice to get a win and get a couple of goals.

They’ve played two good games against us, and we wanted to come in here and prove to ourselves that we can beat that team, … We know we’ve got a lot more games against them,...

That’s a tough call. I didn’t feel much coming around the corner but that’s the call he made.

Hopefully, he’s all right because he’s a big part of our team. We are going to need him.

He’s a very gifted offensive player. He’s definitely helping me score goals. He’s going to be able to find me on the ice, and I’m going to find him.

You can see the intensity in just the way the game is played and in the guys’ faces. I think there’s inexperience – in that, we will be at a different level – but at...

It’s just bruised, I’ll be all right. I’ll play (Thursday) night.

They play us tough every time. They’re always working hard and finishing their checks. They were able to stay around. It was just nice to get the win.

We hear that, but it’s a little soon because we haven’t all played in the NHL.

The puck’s kind of finding me right now. Hopefully I can keep it going and help our team put points on the board.

I think it’s a matter of finishing strong and continuing to push into the playoffs. That’s our main goal and that’s what we want to do. We know there’s still [28] games left. We need...

There were a lot of power plays tonight and we were finally able to get it done ? we’ll take it.

It’s something I’ll remember for a long time and something that’s nice to accomplish.

It’s great to watch them come up.

Anytime you see a player accidentally make a play like that, you want to pick him up.

I think I’m playing the wrong position because there’s so many great players from Canada. They won Olympic gold last time. There’s so many good players that are going to get a really good look....

It was a tough battle, and we ended up getting it done.

We expect he’ll come back for us. He’s been there for us all year.

It doesn’t come by yourself, it comes with other guys that you play with and teammates. It’s been a good year so far and obviously we need to finish strong, and I would like to...

The power-play goal was a big lift, … It got us on the right track. And Hedi scored a big one after that at 18:36 of the second.

I’ve just been finding the back of the net. I’ve been getting a lot of chances and skating well, and I want to keep that going as long as I can.

The guys were looking for me because I already had two goals so I was trying to get open.

He’s got no nerves. I don’t know how he does it.

It will be nice to get back home. We want first overall in our conference and first overall. We’re going to try win every game from here on out. It’s too bad we didn’t get...

It’s definitely not the scenario we want every night. But we’re going to take the wins as they come.

He just got his stick up and it kind of caught me. I’ve never lost a tooth, so it’s a little bad like that, but I got it fixed up and got it done.

It’s no fun losing your tooth or getting your face whacked with a stick, but it’s nice to come back from two goals down to get the win ? no doubt.

We needed the win. I didn’t get as much wood on it as I would have liked, but I found the back of the net with a good screen in front.

Qualifying for the playoffs is a special feeling, and it will be special when we clinch the division. [Tonight’s] game is important because of the way we played against them last time. We want to...

The way our team’s playing right now, you can’t really count us out. I think the league’s taking notice of that.

I don’t think I’ve gotten any faster. I think just my stride has gotten more powerful. Just going wide, being able to drive to the net and get by the D, using the strength in...

The way I’m playing right now, I’m coming with a lot of speed, the puck’s flying for me and I’m going to keep it going as long as I can.

It was kind of a seeing-eye goal. We had a good screen in front of him and I don’t think he saw it.

It definitely wasn’t as tough as being down two goals the last few games, … Erik has been doing a great job using his speed. He creates a lot of open ice for Cory [Stillman]...

I was glad to still be playing. I got in a good year with a lot of minutes. Maybe some of the guys who didn’t play had a harder time getting back into the groove.

We’re happy with the way we’re playing right now, but any time you can get a little bit of a break and get some rest to some guys and kind of lick your wounds, it’s...
