They said it

"There's going to be times our line catches fire. There's going to be times each line is going to have a moment to step up and make impact plays. That's how you have a good team, that's how you win a lot of hockey games. Timely scoring, guys stepping up." -- Jets forward Blake Wheeler
"Our fourth line (had) three goals [Saturday]. They did more than that; they can all skate, they defended hard, they helped us get momentum on the forecheck... When you can have the trust in those guys that you can put them in those situations, it can give us an opportunity to use Crosby's line, for example, in an advantageous situation offensively." -- Penguins coach Mike Sullivan on the play of Sam Lafferty, Joseph Blandisi and Adam Johnson
