JAY LEACH, HEAD COACH

"We were able to get out to an early lead with a sustained forecheck, which is something we talked about. They were certainly pressing throughout the night, but when we broke down our goaltender was able to make the big stops. I thought we managed the puck when we needed too. We got timely goaltending and goal scoring and ultimately beat a really good team in a really tough building and we're excited for the two points."

"It was a big team win against a really good team. The guys came in and played really hard in front of me.

We were motivated to make a statement against a good team in their building when they were undefeated.

The guys played great in front of me and it was great to get two points. "
