"They earned some of those power-play chances, and [at] 6-on-5 we were just surviving. And we got a couple [of] big blocks, Ian Cole had a big block, we had a couple of good clears and guys getting sticks on pucks up at the line. At that point, you're just doing whatever you can to keep the puck out of your net. So I like what we did. We put ourselves in a position to win the game, we got some saves when we needed, so it's a good all-around effort by our team, especially on the road." -- Avalanche coach Jared Bednar on Colorado going 2-for-3 on the penalty kill
"It's a special building, and it felt even better with the crowd, and I'm really happy we could pick up the win here." -- Avalanche goalie Pavel Francouz
"We've got to get some points on the board. It's not good enough here, especially at home. You've got to take advantage of the home games." -- Canadiens forward Nick Cousins
