"He was great. Just a real stoic guy back there, good angles, and played great for us in both games. But certainly, tonight throughout the game he came up with some big stops when we needed them." -- Capitals defenseman John Carlson on goalie Ilya Samsonov
"No results at the end of the day. I think there were times where we did good things, and there were times where the puck wasn't moving quick enough. We flipped sides there at the end and had a couple of good looks. But if we get that many penalties, that has to change. The amount of power plays we usually get, you have to bury at least one a game. That's on us. We have to find a way to get something going." -- Stars center Tyler Seguin
"There's no question that there's concern, but we can't worry about what's happened. We have to worry about what's ahead and rally around each other. Everyone has to look in the mirror and be better. Everyone has to take ownership of the ice time they're getting, the lack of production that they're maybe giving, and the lack of energy and emotion that they're giving to the team." -- Stars coach Jim Montgomery on the four-game road trip that begins Monday
