"I think it's huge, it's a four-point game. We can take two away from them and climb two in the standings. You see how tight the division is, so we want to keep climbing. We have to treat it like a playoff game for us for sure. Passion, character, it's all got to be there tonight." -- Canadiens forward Andrew Shaw
"They're a good team. We play them a lot and we know their guys pretty well. They are playing well and if you look at the standings, points are close so this is an important game. Last time we went in their building two weeks ago, it was an important game and both teams were ready to go. I'd expect the same tonight." -- Maple Leafs defenseman Morgan Rielly
