"They've got [John] Klingberg out, but they have a real active back end and don't give much up. That would be the difference and transition of this team over the last four or five years. Their back end used to be all over the ice and they were hard to handle, but you were always in a game with them because you were going to generate chances. Now, most of that has gone away. There's no easy offense." -- Jets coach Paul Maurice
"We feel that the Jets are a significantly different team. They play five together really well in all three zones. We think the neutral zone is really hard to penetrate against them. In the defensive zone, they're taking away time and space and are harder on you. That's why, when you look at the numbers, they aren't giving up a lot of goals." -- Stars coach Jim Montgomery
