What they're saying
André Tourigny, Head Coach
"I like the character in our game. The first period was not at the level we expected, but from there, we played a really solid game. We were heavier on pucks, we skated the puck better and we had a lot more possession, we did a lot of great things in the second period that carried over to the third, where we were resilient."
Kyle Maksimovich, 67's forward
On those nights where the puck always bounces your way... "Those nights don't come around very often, so you have to enjoy while you can and obviously look forward to the next game and put it behind you."
Game Notes
This win takes the 67's undefeated in regulation streak to 13 games.
With two assists tonight, Lucas Chiodo extends his point streak to 12 consecutive games.
The Barber Poles dominated the faceoff dot with 34 faceoff wins against 22.
