"That's what we need from the power play and I think the last few years, that's what we've gotten too. We have a good power play, we've gotten results from it and just hasn't bounced our way. I think we've been making it a little bit too hard and not really taking what's there. The last two goals, just getting the puck to the net and it goes in, I think that says a lot. That's a big goal for us and it's big for our confidence moving forward." -- Forward Marcus Johansson on the Capitals' power play tying the game
"They're a team that goes to the net hard. Probably one of the hardest teams in the League that go to the net and crash and jab your goalie and get in your goalie's face. It's frustrating, obviously, when you're not playing the right way. I think they just don't go your way when you're not playing the right way." -- Capitals forward Jay Beagle on the Sabres
"It's always a big part of the game against this team. Their power play is dangerous and I thought we did a good job of killing [it] off in the first period but the second goal, the goal they needed with six minutes left, is a direct result of the penalty kill. And we had our chances on the power play. Late in the game there we had a chance. We had one earlier as well and weren't able to come up with it." -- Sabres coach Dan Bylsma on the Capitals power play
