"It's a very big game; it sets the tone for the week. Everybody that we're playing at this stage is hungry for points so you're getting the best efforts. Coming into a building that's sometimes tough to win in, playing a team that beat us already this year, it's a good test." -- Wild coach Bruce Boudreau
"Stuff like this, when you change the lines like that, it can't distract us from the way we need to play. I think it all comes back to that. Different lines are going to be different lines, but we have to play better without the puck and we have to defend better. No matter what line combinations you throw out there, if you don't do that you're not going to win many games." -- Sabres forward Kyle Okposo
