They said it
"We're in a tough stretch of the schedule and when you have games like this, you get contributions from up and down the lineup. Everybody feels a part of it and it's a good springboard going into some tough teams coming up. It's definitely a good building block for us." -- Stars center Jason Spezza following the win against the Islanders on Sunday
"Any time there are opportunities for guys to come up, it's exciting and I'm glad to be a part of it. I know I got a game in last year but this kind of feels like my first one all over again. -- Rangers forward Steven Fogarty
