POSTGAME QUOTES
HEAD COACH GREG MOORE
On the line of Semyon Der-Arguchintsev, Nick Robertson and Joey Anderson:
I thought they complemented each other really well. Uncle Joey, as a mentor I thought he did a really good job. He was talking to those guys every shift, helping coach them up with details, keeping them all on the same page. It was really good to see the creative play between the three of them. You could tell that Robertson and Semyon definitely have some chemistry, they've spent a lot of time together. That line had a huge impact on the game today.
On the recent play of the Marlies:
It's in a really positive direction. They've really come together to find a consistency and a game plan. They're working hard for each other but it really stems from their focus and hard work in practice the last few weeks. They've really gotten to work. They've battled through more difficult drills and they're starting to see the fruits of their labour with the time and effort that they've put in.
