QUOTES TO NOTE In the third, we came out better, we had some chances. We almost rallied. We have to play like we did in the third, create some chances and stay positive. We have to try to take some good things out of this game and we have to move forward. - Marian Gaborik With wins, you gain confidence. We were making plays and controlling the play for most of the game. I thought our confidence was coming. Obviously, it has been lacking the past couple of games. We’re not winning and not scoring enough but, tonight, I thought it was coming. - Ryan Callahan You have your injuries, you have the kids. I’m really worried about that, putting them in a spot they’re just not ready for. - John Tortorella
