QUOTE OF THE DAY - "We felt the game that we played in Vegas was a really good one. We were 3-3 with five minutes to go, gave up a rush chance goal against that's something we've done a thousand times correctly, and we made a mistake on it and it ended up in the back of our net. When we approach this team that's our next opponent there's things that we have to do, whether it's our game plan or if it's individual things, if it's specialty teams, that we have to do to beat Vegas. And the other part, that is all sort of a byproduct of what happens when you play hard and you do all the right things." - Scott Arniel on how to end thee Jets losing streak to Vegas.
