COACHES COMMENT: Head Coach Josh Petrusma, "It was frustrating to give up a three-goal lead in the third period today. I thought our effort wasn't where it needed to be throughout the game and I'm disappointed in our urgency level today. Credit to Davenport for playing hard and continuing to compete. I thought they earned the comeback. We found a way through overtime and the shootout, but we'll need to figure it out quickly with a tough matchup this weekend vs GVSU."
