JAY LEACH, HEAD COACH
On Brady Lyle
"His puck movement and his shot certainly stand out for us. He's clean coming out of his own end and he makes a real hard first pass. He's been able to generate offense from the blue line and on the power play. It's certainly a commodity in today's defensemen that's desired throughout the league."
On Alex Olivier-Voyer
"Certain guys have that competitive desire. Alex has done that (fight) several times for us. He's felt like the game isn't going the way we want it to go and it certainly wasn't at that particular moment. Guys weren't really digging in and he went out there and showed exactly what he feels he can do. That puts a fire under us a little bit to get out there and respond to it. It's a very challenging job and certainly one that we value to no end."
