Buteyets on his first taste of NHL action:
“Things happen quickly. Plays happen quickly. You don't have time to set up and prepare for the shots. You have to manage all players in your zones. We’ll keep working on it and we’ll keep pushing.”

Buteyets on moving from the ECHL to the AHL to the NHL all in the same season:
“Things happen quickly, so you have to just get used to it, and it's nothing but work. So it doesn't matter where are you, you have to put it to work every single time. Doesn’t matter.”

Slava Buteyets said goaltending coach Peter Budaj notified him during the second intermission that he would be coming in for the third.
“I can’t say that I was surprised, because all the coaches telling me that I have all always been ready, so that's what I was.”

Radko Gudas on Slava Buteyets making his NHL debut:
“He had a very tough position to go in. He had some very tough shots (to face) right away. Two of the goals went off our own guys, so it's very hard for him to stop those, but I thought he'd held his ground.”

“There's still a lot of things we need to work on. This is a long season, so we need to go step after step and try to put together a full 60. I thought last game, we did a lot better job in all those things. Today, we kind of took a step back.”
