Wyatt Johnston on the Stars' 4-3 overtime loss against the Edmonton Oilers: "They've been playing pretty good hockey these last couple of months and it's a big game for us. We want to show we're the best team in the league - Obviously good to get a point, but we'd much rather get two though," - "I think it's just playing smart. I think making sure the puck gets in is a big thing and not turning it over - I think it's on us to play smart especially when there are long shifts, make sure they get a chance to change, and make sure we don't turn the puck over."
Evan Bouchard on taking this game into overtime and bouncing back after Thursday's game: "That was huge. We knew they were a good team. We had to play a really good game and we did that, that's what makes us so special. We can compete with any team."
