COACHES COMMENT: Head Coach Josh Petrusma, "After a slow start, we found our way tonight. I was very happy with the second and third periods overall, but we were fortunate after a poor first. Yost was fantastic in net again tonight and we had contributions offensively from a number of guys. It's always great to start off conference play with a win. I expect another hard fought game on Saturday as well."
