``We did have a good road trip. That first game back is always traditionally a tough game. I talked to our guys about making sure you’re totally ready and not surprised about the intensity of the game. Calgary has been a pretty good club this year. They’ve had great bursts both at the start and end of games, so we have to be aware of that. We haven’t beaten them this year, so that’s got to be ammunition for us – last chance to get a victory against them.''
``We didn’t have a lot of time changes over the two weeks, which probably helps us a lot. We worked our way back here playing in the central time zone our last game. It will be three games since our last game, and that’s always the best way to come back. Hopefully we play with the same intensity and vigor we’ve been playing with. I think our guys have really attacked the games and played with the type intensity you need to in order to be successful. We’ve played better defensively. We’ve drawn a lot of penalties. If we can get our power play going then I think we can get a string going here.''
