SAY WHAT: 'IT ALWAYS RAMPS UP'

ANDREW MANGIAPANE ON DIVISION BATTLE:

ON PRODUCING OFFENCE:

"Sometimes you get hot and cold-type thing. But I think as long as you're playing the right way and helping the team win, I think that's what I guess kind of matters. Obviously, you want to kind of score and produce kind of every night in that aspect, but you've got to be a good player all around, though, as well - good in your D zone, good in the neutral zone, good offensively, and wearing the other team's D down. Just creating chances and eventually maybe you get a lucky one to go in and you'll start scoring more often."

TREVOR LEWIS ON THE STRETCH DRIVE:

"It always ramps up at the end of the year. Teams are getting ready for playoffs and teams are trying to get in playoffs, and the seeding and trying to get home ice. Everything's intensified and the games mean that much more and everyone's getting ready to go for playoffs.
"I think every game from now until playoffs, you're going to have hungry teams. And you've got to be hungry, too. So, we've got to be ready to go."

DARRYL SUTTER ON FACING THE KINGS:

"They're playing well. They've done a really good job, (GM) Rob Blake. Doing a re-build with draft picks and moving out a lot of champions to do that, but keeping the core still. They've done the good job.
"The mix is interesting if they're top picks. And they're top picks. So, they've done a good job drafting, developing them. They're still seven or eight of them that are playing in the American League
"They have two top lines. The guys they brought in - you can say the development part - but the guys they've brought in are key guys. Right? Danault and Arvidsson? Top forwards."

ON THE FOCUS FOR TONIGHT:

"Same (thing). Played good last game. Just didn't finish. Stay away from those penalties as I talked about. Even though there were only three, those are penalties you can't take. The perfect player is zero penalties."
