"I haven't been able to scoreboard watch in like three years. It's exciting to be able to do it, and it's exactly the situation that I've been searching for a while in terms of being right in the mix and having big things to play for every single night. We want to keep things going. Every night's a grind right now, but at the same time, it's a lot of fun." -- Blue Jackets center Matt Duchene
"We've got what, 14 games left? It's going to be like this right until the very end. Even if you're winning, there's so many teams that are tight, everyone's going to pick up points. We'll be looking at the standings every day, but it doesn't change how you prepare." -- Islanders defenseman Thomas Hickey
