RYAN MOUGENEL, HEAD COACH
On Jon Gillies
"I actually am fairly familiar with Jon from being out on the west coast and seeing him play quite a bit. He was absolutely outstanding tonight. He's the reason we were able to win. I'm happy for him. He's getting an opportunity here and that's an important part of it, right? He's taking a hold of the opportunity. A lot of guys get the opportunity and don't do anything with it. He's got a lot to prove and it says a lot about his character. We're really happy for him.
"The one thing that I'm about and our staff is about - we're big believers in transparency. We told him everything that was going to happen. He was going to get a chance to start and I couldn't go beyond that. I think that's the biggest thing you can do with someone who's looking for those opportunities, that's the biggest thing. There's a lot of guys in that room and they're all going through different experiences in their journey. I think he's no different. There's a lot of great goalies out there and not a lot of jobs. It's a tough market, so it's really great to see him having success. We'll just keep plugging away."
