JAY LEACH, HEAD COACH
"We had a great first shift to start the game and then we really sat back. They really came at us and they're a very talented, speedy group. We didn't play our game and it just wasn't a good period. We were able to hit the reset button between periods and I thought we made some nice changes to the way we were playing. We were able to climb back multiple times and it's a big point for us.
"We obviously would like to have two points, but overall I think it's a huge learning experience for us. We need to understand that if we don't dictate and play the way we need to play, it's going to be a long night. If we play the way we need to play, then we will have success. Hopefully we can learn from this one."
ROBERT LANTOSI - ONE GOAL, ONE ASSIST
"The first period was tough. We were on our heels a bit, but we talked about it in the locker room and ended up fighting back. We can be happy with one point, but we wanted two.
"We could have skated a little better. Our skating needs to be our go-to. Overall, we played a decent game and we're happy with the way we fought back, but we wanted two points."
