JAY LEACH, HEAD COACH
"It's been great having him (Vladar) back down here. I thought he had a good game last week and then tonight he was really strong. He looked big in the net. I thought he played the puck well. He's really been maturing like we've hoped and it was certainly a good performance tonight.
We've been looking forward to this for a long time - to be able to play multiple games against different opponents in AHL buildings. It's never going to be exactly the way it was, but to the same token, we're playing terrific competition and we have to scratch and claw to get wins. That's invaluable to our players. We're certainly enjoying every game we get to play."
