The guys who know him know we're getting a good friend back, but we're also getting a guy who can help us in a big way.

I'm probably looking to be back in back in Edmonton.

It was a weird injury, but I know it feels good enough to skate, so I'm playing. It's an exciting time to be in Edmonton right now.

The responsibility falls on the player. I am going to have to get a lot better next game.

We're very aware of the situation. We need to jump on teams who are tired from playing the night before. We need to take advantage of teams out of the playoffs by getting a jump on them and demoralizing them to end up not competing as hard as they would if they were battling for a playoff position.

We have 33 games left, so if we want to do it, we're going to do it. We can climb back to the top. It's up to us. We'll see what we've got down the stretch. We're in a bit of a lull right now and it's up to the leaders in the room to get us out of it. I'm confident we will.

It feels the same way as the last game. I thought I was effective in that last game.

I expect it to be fine. I tested it, and it was good.

If we can get a split, it makes it a lot easier to take. But it's not much fun (watching).

We have to get that next goal. You either have to get a stop or get the next goal. It's happened a number of times. Good efforts have been wasted because of it.
