SAY WHAT - 'THE TIME IS NOW'

SUTTER ON THE TEAM'S GOALTENDING:

ON SCHEDULING STARTS FOR BOTH:

"You try and set a schedule - sort of - at the start of the year like we talked about to make sure Vladdy was getting more minutes this year based on performance. But still, it's really hard to do because of the schedule. This week, we play four games, so tonight, Wednesday - 6 o'clock start - then travel (Thursday), so no practice, then back-to-backs. It changes every week. Last week was three games, all at home. It changes for me based on performance, schedule, talking with the coaches. Even yesterday, talking with the coaches and trying to map something. But it's hard to do."

ON VLADAR GETTING THE NOD TONIGHT:

Is it a matter of giving him for Markstrom time re-group and get his game back?
"I think both, for sure."

WEEGAR ON STRINGING SOME WINS TOGETHER:

"It's kind of been the storyline - win one, lose one. We've got to start putting a few together now. It's obviously a big game coming off a good win, but lots of guys have confidence and we're going to carry that tonight.
"I think the time's now. I don't think we can wait until after Christmas. We need these wins and we need them now. You see the standings and I don't think we've made too (many) strides with the win last game, so we need to start putting some points in the bank now and closing the (gap) on a playoff spot."

DUBE ON BUILDING CONFIDENCE:

"I think our homestand has been good since we got back. It was nice to get that win. It was a full 60-minute game for our group. I think we can't be satisfied with that. I think it's pretty repetitive, but we need to put a couple together here and get points and climb our way back in. We can't wait for the next time, it's got to be tonight. It's important for us to have a good start."

ON FACING THE COYOTES:

"When you know you have that long of a road trip, you know you have to be a good road team. It's plays to their advantage when you're used to being on the road. It's going to be a hard game. They're going to come really hard tonight because they're going to be used to it, so it's going to be a challenge for us, for sure."
