Jets Quotes Paul Maurice “We’re two games into a season and we’ve got a lot of guys working the puck around a little bit trying to find their hands, working it a little bit too much. Our offence game isn’t something we spend a whole lot of time on right now but we’ll get it there.”

Mark Scheifele “We just gotta focus on our game. Obviously it’s still two games in so we’ve got a lot of work to do until the season starts, so we just gotta focus on getting better as a team and go from there.”

“We know we can get possession I think it’s just a matter of being a little more consistent each and every time.”

Oilers Quotes Todd McLellan “I like the overall effort from our group. When you play these types of games there are some tough circumstances when you fly in an hour before you play. I thought we got off to a slow start, but we responded and I thought we had really good leadership tonight, Jokinen, Letestu, Nuge, Gryba, those types of guys stepped up when it would have been easy for them to take the easy route. They played hard and everybody followed and I was happy with that.”

Ryan Nugent Hopkins “It’s impressive when we can come in here against a good team, which was the majority of the Winnipeg team. We were on our heels a little bit in the first period, but we really dug down in the second. The young guys, they stepped up and it doesn’t look like they’re out of place at all, which is definitely a good sign for the future.”
