"The injection of [David] Bagley into our lineup was a huge boost for the boys and the atmosphere at the Crown was incredible", said Head Coach Scott Rex. David Bagley led the way for the FireAntz with a goal and an assist. "I was excited and anxious to get on the ice for my return". Bagley said on his return, "It was great. The whole reception from the crowd was incredible. I really appreciate the support and it's great we got a win for them. It was a real team effort, both on the ice, and in the crowd."
