Ryan Nugent-Hopkins on the team's video tribute and morning festivities to celebrate his milestone: "Definitely meant a lot to me. Feel the love and to have experienced a lot of these games with a few of the guys in here. It's pretty special and yeah, it's just a huge big honor for me, and very lucky, fortunate to have been able to hit this milestone with this team. "And it really is a testament to a lot of these guys in this room, and not just the players, but the staff, the trainers that have been here for my entire career. So, yeah, I mean, this group means a ton to me. So, having a video that they shared with me was definitely special." #LetsGoOilers | @dfoedmonton

Mike Babcock on Jake Walman coming in for Ty Emberson: "Emby did nothing wrong. So let's clear that up right away here. It's just a matter of the rotation, and now it's on Wally to get to work and gain his confidence back, feel good about himself, and play the way he's capable of playing. "Shak's really, I think, done a real good job there and got himself solidified in the lineup. The idea is when you get in, you never get out. You never give a guy another chance. You just hold on to it for a quick 20 or so." #LetsGoOilers | @dfoedmonton

Mike Babcock says Isaac Howard out a couple weeks, Devon Levi is skating: "Howie is good. He's going to be out a couple weeks, I think. But it's nothing. It's not a big deal. And then I see Levi out there on the ice...I don't know when they're letting him off the shelf, but he looks good." #LetsGoOilers | @dfoedmonton

Babcock on Ryan Nugent-Hopkins' milestone night: "You should have heard his teammates talk about him. Whether it be Eberle, whether it be Nurse, whether it be the guys that have been here with him when they talk about him today. You know, it was emotional to actually hear him.... "Kevin Lowe. You can say whatever you want. I mean, unbelievable player, unbelievable man. What he means to the city, and then you got a guy like Nuge who has been steady ever since he's got here, probably underappreciated. And yet, when you coach him, you just know how good he is. "His teammates raved about him today, that had to be pretty special for him to hear that, and then to listen to his wife talk, that was pretty special too. So we had a nice morning with that." #LetsGoOilers | @dfoedmonton
