"I think the game was pretty sloppy all around. Third period kind of even sloppier, I guess, and we stuck with it. I think that's the biggest thing. [Power-play goal] late, unfortunately we gave one up for them to tie it and go to overtime. We had some ups and downs in the game, but we just kept going." -- Hurricanes defenseman Dougie Hamilton
"Quite simply not enough shots. We had so much control, we're looking for the perfect goal. We need to give up that mindset to get our confidence back to be able to make those seam kind of one-timer goals that we'd like to make and get something ugly going. We're disappointed in our special teams today. We've spent the last few days working on that and speaking a lot about it. The [penalty kill] and power play need to definitely pick up steam again quickly." -- Sabres coach Ralph Krueger on the power play, which is 2-for-20 in the past eight games
