They Said it:
Brayden Guy: "It was a big relief to get that first one, the second one felt good too. We have been playing much better as a group and getting results on the ice. We wanted the two points, but five out of six this week is pretty good."
B.J. Adams: "Disappointed losing the game, we wanted the extra point, but anytime you can get five out of six points in a week that's a good week."
