They said it

"We need two points in the worst way, and that's our focus right now. We're going to battle hard [Wednesday]. We need those two points. We've got to be desperate from the start." -- Red Wings forward Dylan Larkin
"He obviously has to provide offense. For me, he's going to be an NHL player, it's just a matter of when he can handle the pace of a 60-minute game every night. It's not just one night, it's being able to do it night after night after night." -- Senators coach D.J. Smith on what Logan Brown has to do to stay in the NHL
