JAY LEACH, HEAD COACH

- We started off well and put pucks behind them while getting in on the forecheck. We were able to capitalize off a sustained shift with the goal from Koppanen. Then, we were able to capitalize on the power play which is something you really need. In the second, I thought Bridgeport really played well and we were able to contain it with the help of Lagace. In the third, I thought we played well enough in crucial moments to secure the victory. It wasn't pretty, but it's two points on the road and we'll take that any night of the week.

MAX LAGACE - 31 SAVES

- I'm just really proud of the way the guys played in front of me. They were blocking shots all night and made it easy on me.

We just want to carry this momentum into tomorrow against a tough opponent in Hartford. Three games in three days is hard, so starting off with a W is obviously great for the team.
