Say What - 'Faster Game Tonight'

Jonathan Huberdeau on the early-season success:

"Just keep playing hard, I think that’s what we’ve been doing all year. Stick to our system, like I said before, (we’re a) hard-working team, that’s what we’ve been doing. We stick to it, don’t panic, we got a big win last one, now (we) focus on this one, a tough team coming in."

On facing the Hurricanes tonight:

"They’re shooting a lot of pucks, obviously we’ve got to be tight defensively against them. They’re a big team, and they go hard. We know what kind of game it’s going to be, it’s going to be a tight game. We’ve just got to be able to play in their zone as much as possible, and create some chances out there."

Kevin Rooney on returning to the lineup:

"It’s good to be back. Feel really good. Been fun to watch this team from up top for a couple weeks, there."

On the team's 5-0-1 start:

"You want to see the team do well, and that’s what they’ve done. It’s been a lot of fun to be around the rink. There’s a good attitude in here, a good mindset."

Ryan Huska on this evening's lineup changes:

"We’re bringing someone back into the lineup today and for Marty, we felt like we needed a little bit more speed on that one line, so that’s really all it came down to. This is going to be a faster game tonight, so we want to try and put ourselves in a position to play the right way."

On the leadership shown by Rasmus Andersson and MacKenzie Weegar:

"In years prior, there were other defencemen here that were considered the same level - tier - as those guys would be. But when you look at Ras’s game, this is probably the best I’ve seen him play in the NHL since he’s been up here, and I think MacKenzie has continued to stay consistent like we saw towards the end of (last year). Maybe having that extra bit of pressure on them - that they have to bring guys along with them - has helped them, but I’m very pleased with both."
