"We have a close history (with Minnesota). We know what a difficult place this is. But you know, we're also aware how difficult it is to come back from the west coast the way they did, right? So, they stay over and come back to an afternoon game. We've faced that in the past and know how tough that is. Both teams have some important guys out of their lineup. So, we wanted to make sure we were ready for the start and I think we were."-- Jets coach Paul Maurice
"We went through the first 10 games where we only won [three]. If we can't bounce back after a couple losses - we've lost three out of four right now - if we can't bounce back, then it's not the group I thought we had." -- Wild coach Bruce Boudreau
