"If we play like that and start getting more results, it's not going to do anything from a standings standpoint. Internally, in the room, it's going to lead to next year. That's where we're at, and that's where our focus is at for the next seven [games]."-- Sabres forward Sam Reinhart on the game Monday
"We've tried to key on a couple of basic things, like winning puck battles and making sure that we adhere to how we play when we don't have the puck. Offensively, we've really tried to allow them to express their creativity. And I think when you get the combination of the hardness and the determination that you get from trying to play the right way when you don't have the puck, that translates a little bit more in the offensive zone." -- Senators coach Marc Crawford
