Mike Babcock on Patrick Marleau: “When you see him do all of the things that lead to winning, he doesn’t let any guy who thinks they’re a good player off the hook”

With two games over the course of the next eight days, what do you look to finalize here in regards to resting and getting ready and looking forward to what will happen next Thursday?

Babcock: I mean, we’ve got to be the most rested team in hockey. We’re going to have four of eight days off and freshen up that way. We’ll still have time to practice and prepare. Obviously, these two games are the best preparation. We’ll play a real hungry Devils team that played real well last night. I think that’s a real good opportunity for us to continue to evolve our game.
