They said it

"We need more of the same. We need the same energy coming into tonight. This is a very hot team right now. They've put a lot of pucks in the back of the net. Obviously, tough place to play, too. We need to keep rolling." -- Senators goaltender Mike Condon on replicating their effort from Friday
"Let's not forget, they were in the (Eastern) Conference Final last year. They're a good team. They have great forwards, great defenseman, good goaltending. Maybe their record doesn't show it right now, but they're a much better team than that so got to be ready to go." -- Jets forward Mathieu Perreault on the Senators
