They said it

"We've been able to generate a little bit of momentum here coming off two wins. Really at the end of the day it doesn't matter unless we bring it tonight. We've got a tough task ahead of us." -- Kings defenseman Alec Martinez
"They do a really good job of getting above the puck and not making it easy to go from your end to their end. They make sure you have to go through numbers to get into their zone. ... We can't be stubborn and not get pucks in behind them. If the ice is available behind them we have to take that ice and not get ourselves in a 1-on-1 situation where we're going to turn the puck over." -- Flyers coach Scott Gordon
