SAY WHAT - 'BIG POINTS AT STAKE'

SUTTER ON PELLETIER/HANDLING YOUNG PLAYERS:

ANDERSSON ON FINDING HIS WAY IN THE LEAGUE:

"First full year, I remember I was scratched in San Jose on a back-to-back. It was Billy (Peters) at the time and I talked to him. I think the outside world makes a bigger deal (out of it) than it really is. When you're a young guy and you're trying to become a full-time NHLer, it's hard. I don't think people really realize how many games we actually play. It's different when if you're playing in Europe or the AHL... Here, it's a game night-in and night-out. In the AHL, you usually play Friday-Saturday and then have a full week of practice.
"In my opinion, it's not the end of the world - especially for a young guy, I think, it's something you need to learn and something you need to go through. Sometimes, honestly, it's good for you to sit and watch and take a step back and kind of focus and get that hunger. ... It's a learning process for everyone, doesn't matter who you are. I remember I had to take a step back and think about what I had to do to stay in the lineup night-in and night-out.
"It can be good for you if you handle it well."

ON BIG GAME AGAINST DALLAS:

"We're playing a good team. We played them twice and there were a lot of goals in both teams. We know their skill and their first line has been really good. It's going to be a tough battle and it's going to be a tough night."

KADRI ON FACING THE STARS TONIGHT:

"Big points at stake. The start's important. I think it's time for us to start get back on track at home and try to solidify home ice. Big game against a good team and we've got to be prepared."

ON MOOD IN THE ROOM:

"I think you've got to have that intensity, but be relaxed and engaged - all those things. Obviously, poise and composure, situational during the game, I think, is important. There's going to be a lot of close games down the stretch and we've had a lot of experience playing in those throughout the season. For the most part, I think we're pretty comfortable with them."

MANGIAPANE ON FOCUS FOR TONIGHT:

"I think the biggest thing is to come out strong and make sure that it's not going to be an easy game for the away team. If you come out prepared and have the energy and are finishing checks and making plays, things like that... When we're on - even simple as making a two-foot pass - when we're on, I think it's tough for other teams to play."
