SAY WHAT: 'A LOT OF ENERGY'

RASMUS ANDERSSON ON RETURNING HOME:

ON KEYS TO SUCCESS:

"To win the game, we've got to stick to our systems and we've got to be better than we were the last few games of the road trip. Just come out with a lot of energy, try to get the first goal and build on that."

ON 50% CAPACITY:

"We know we have great fans when it's sold out and packed in here, but we've got to create our own energy - and the 10,000 that (are) going to be here, it's going to be really loud and they're going to help us out."

DILLON DUBE ON SWITCHING FROM WING TO CENTRE:

"For me, it's motivation to help whatever line I'm on to play at my best and make sure I'm really helping my wingers in that position. I don't' think of it as getting demoted or anything. … For me, it's about finding that consistency in my game and helping out my wingers as much as I can."

ON STEADY WEEK OF PRACTICE:

"Those three days, you don't get too many of those during year, so it's going to be really good for our group."

ON PRODUCING OFFENCE:

"I want to produce a lot more and score and help win hockey games. It comes from the whole team, too. We all need to be a little sharper on that and bear down on some chances that we have. For sure, I want to take it on myself - the chances have been there and I want to put them in the back of the net, so I take some ownership on it and be better on that, for sure. Everyone loves scoring goals and it's a big part of the game, so that's something you want. But for me, I want to play the whole game, 200-foot, right now, especially at centre. That's what I'm more worried about. When you take care of that, that's usually when the puck goes in for you."

HEAD COACH DARRYL SUTTER ON THE SENS:

"They're a team that's record is not indicative of the type of team that they have. ... They're a team, quite honest, that was looked on from the hockey world to be an up-and-coming team in training camp with their roster and I think COVID kicked them in the (butt) - and probably goaltending, also. But I think they have an outstanding group of young players, as good as anybody in the league."

ON HEAVY HOME SCHEDULE DOWN THE STRETCH:

"There's no advantage at all right now. This month is still a heavy road schedule. It may be an advantage in February or March which is logical... but I only look it from now until the All-Star Break and that's the way everyone should look at it."
