SUTTER ON DUBE'S GROWTH:

“You’re just trying to stay in the moment"

STONE ON STARTING HOMESTAND:

"It's nice to be home and we've got to take care of business at home. We didn't do as good of a job as we would have liked on the road, so we've got to start again."

ON THE TAKING 'THE GOOD' FROM THE ROAD:

"I think you've got to look at both parts of it. You've got to take the good and continue to build on it and understand that we didn't do a good enough job to lock it down and make sure we got the two points."

“We got to take care of business at home"

COLEMAN ON BEING BACK IN THE 'DOME:

"I think the last two games, we've played good hockey - just didn't play good in the right situations, obviously, and should have come home with two wins. It's another lesson that can't be learned this time of year, but it's good to be back home. It's been a handful of weeks with the break and the road trip, so it will be nice to get in front of our own fans again and use that energy in the building to get the ball rolling."

ON GETTING TO THE NET:

"I think it's a big part of my game. It's gotten better of late and our trio is predicated on our forecheck and that's where we get a lot of our offence. Typically, when you're turning pucks over, you're going to get looks and you need guys in front of the goalie's eyes. Been starting to get there a little more, obviously. A couple ugly goals and things like that. It's a big part of my game and the guys on my line play the same way, so for us to be successful, we've got to get there."

“Nice to be in front of our fans"

HANIFIN ON TAKEAWAYS FROM OTTAWA GAME:

"We played for 57 minutes or so, we played the way we wanted to play. We didn't get that complete game, which is something we've been trying to do all year. Just looking to play to our identity like we have a little bit lately and just build on that and have a good game tonight."

ON THREE-GAME HOMESTAND:

"It's nice to be home. It's been a few weeks and we're looking to take advantage of this little home stretch here. It's nice and refreshing to be back on home ice again. Obviously, a big couple of games for us coming up here playing a few teams we played last week and get some points back."

"It's going to be a battle for us tonight"
