JAY LEACH, HEAD COACH

"It was a tight first period and after a couple saves in the second we were able to capitalize on our chances. We killed a big penalty, got some more big saves and capitalized again after that.

"It was just timely all around, whether it was our goalie making saves or capitalizing on our chances. That's why we got the result we got. The third period wasn't our best. Max really played great and thankfully we built a nice lead that we could hold onto."

TOMMY MARCHIN - TWO GOALS

"It felt incredible scoring my first AHL goal. The team obviously made it extremely easy for me by helping me out as much as possible. I thought my line was playing pretty well tonight.

"Overall, I think we played pretty well as a team and we're going to look to do the same thing on Friday night."
