“I am very proud of the way our group competed against Worcester in Round 1. They are a good hockey team and had a lot of pushback throughout the series. We had contributions throughout our line-up,” said GM/Head Coach Tyler Holske. “All four lines contributed in Game 3. We got excellent goaltending from Beau Lane in all three games. Special teams were a factor in all three games. Our penalty kill went 100 percent (11-for-11) and our powerplay went 38.5 percent (5-for-13). We are looking forward to a great series against the Northern Cyclones starting on Tuesday.”
