JAY LEACH, HEAD COACH

"We were very good in the first. We were skating hard and doing a lot of the things we talked about against a group that we knew was going to push. They gave us all we could handle and then some.

"Our goalie was terrific, especially in the third period. We got some timely plays and we're obviously very happy with the win. It's really hard to play a team that many times in a row and come out victorious, especially against a team like Springfield that has a lot of talent and speed."

BRENDAN GAUNCE - ONE GOAL

"The goal was honestly thanks to the line's effort. I'm playing with two great players. Woodsy (Brendan Woods) made a great play in the neutral zone and (Brendan) Gaunce has been on fire lately. You can practically see the flames coming off him right now. I was just happy to be able to put it in.

"We honestly have a really close locker room. I think we've got a ton of skill in that room and things are starting to click. We're playing with a lot of confidence right now and it's good to have that swagger. We're really happy with the way we're rolling, but there's still a lot of work left to be done."
