DARRYL SUTTER ON 'STICKING WITH IT':

ON WHAT DALLAS DOES WELL:

"They're a team that even though they're not in our division, they're one of those three-game teams (head-to-head). So, you try to stay on top of it. Their strength is and has been their individual skill. It goes right through their lineup from the veterans, (Joe) Pavelski, all the way down to (Miro) Heiskanen, (Jason) Robertson, kids like that. They're as deep as anybody in the league."

"Guys have to step up, guys have to play their roles"

NOAH HANIFIN ON FACING THE STARS:

"They're a really good team on paper. Eve their D, they've got a lot of really mobile defencemen on the backend that can jump in the play and create odd-man rushes - so that's something we're going to have to be aware of as a team. And obviously they have some really good veteran forwards up front that have been around for a long time and have had success. It's a huge game for both teams and I think as a group we're excited for it."

ON TOM BRADY RETIRING:

"It's tough. My whole entire life I watched Brady play. Obviously happy for him and he's had an unbelievable career. Probably the best to ever do it, so it's been unreal to watch him growing up in my childhood and I'm definitely going to miss seeing him on the field."

"It's a huge game for both teams"

BLAKE COLEMAN ON BUILDING OFF SATURDAY:

"I think our defensive structure was pretty good. For most of the game there we didn't give up a lot of chances and that's obviously a key to us being a good team is playing strong defensively. But I think we would all like to create a bit more and start to build off a little more offence here, but from the defensive standpoint I thought we played well. Marky was great again and it's a step in the right direction again. But we need to start building some consistency here if we want to be a real contender."

"It's a step in the right direction again"
