Glen Gulutzan on the Flames adding pieces before the NHL Trade Deadline:
"You can tell with the energy in there, there's a vibe. This is the first time in my coaching career that we've had it at the deadline. It's not like a huge shift for your team - it adds a little juice. I think most guys in our locker room would agree, there's a little bit of juice in their steps today. They know it's on. It's on. We're making a push and we're sitting in a playoff spot and we'd like to continue to push and see where else we can."
Gulutzan on the Predators and the message sent after they fell to Nashville last month:
"We know this is a really good hockey team. They play hard. Our message was that we've got to play more than five minutes. We've got to come out here and be ready for a battle. This is a four-point game. We talked about certain things down the stretch that are important to our group and important for us to get into the playoffs. Four-point games against someone you're battling with is important. We'll be ready to play a harder game right from the start, we know they will (too)."
