Say What - 'You Want To Start Off With A Big Win'

Weegar on reaching 400 games played tonight:

"Every player, when you look back on every milestone, it’s one of those things where you’re privileged to play in the NHL and you don’t take it for granted. You look back on the rollercoasters, the ups and downs, the great times, the bad times. It’s been a fun journey, it’s another milestone and hopefully I’ve got many more of those."

On the mood around the dressing room:

The feel around the room is good, coming off two big wins; we’ve got to carry that into tonight against a tough opponent. First game on the road, you want to start off with a big win. It’s going to be tough, but I think if we carry that confidence over here tonight, I think we’ll be ok.

Kadri on starting strong against the Leafs:

"We’re expecting them to come out ready to play, of course, and wanting to win on home ice. For us, it’s important to get a push back, and try to set the tone in the first period."

On returning home to Ontario:

"It’s always fun, it’s a game you’ve got circled on your calendar, coming home. It’s always nice to play in front of some good buddies and some family, and hopefully walk out of here with two points."

Sharangovich on the success with his linemates Kadri and Zary:

"I think it’s just good communication with us three; Naz is a really good player, older guy, he’s helping us, recommending plays. Zary’s a really fast, skilled player; we just (need to) keep going, and play the same way."

On keeping on task to start the road trip:

"We need to focus on all the small details, winning battles, good sticks. When you focus on this stuff, and do it (well), your game will be going up."

Huska on beginning the road trip in Toronto:

"It’s another game, for sure, but it does feel different when you see the amount of people that are around here, which makes it a pretty cool experience for a lot of guys. The other thing is, your guys that are from this area, this is always a nice night for them to come back."

On Kadri's recent play:

"I think Naz has been kind of re-energized a little bit; he’s playing with a couple younger players, there’s some guys with (a) skill set on his line. I feel like he’s taking on a bit of a mentorship-type role and I think he’s really embraced it. His level has been raised over the last number of games and I think he’s enjoying playing with Sharan and Zars."

On whether Dustin Wolf will see action on the trip:

"We’re not afraid to start him; he’s done some great things in the American League over the last number of years, and he came in for exhibition this season and did the same thing. We’re in a situation that we’re back-to-back, and we’ll see how things go for tomorrow."
