JAY LEACH, HEAD COACH

"We knew they were going to come out with a push. Vladdy made some big saves early and we were able to get some goals after that. We capitalized on a big power play and overall had a pretty good weekend.

"We addressed some things this week and the guys took it upon themselves to own their game and the way we want to play. I think we saw that for close to six periods this weekend and hopefully we can use that as a big building block moving forward."

DAN VLADAR - 42-SAVE SHUTOUT

"I felt great. It's always easier for a goalie when you face that many shots. I felt really good. It was one of those nights where I saw the puck really well and felt like everything was hitting me. It's a long season though, so it's nice, but I'm not getting too high from it.

"I've been feeling really good. Missing six weeks was really tough for me. It's so hard coming to the rink and not spending too much time with the team. I just couldn't wait to get back and I'm really enjoying it right now."
