COACH'S COMMENTS
"We challenged the guys coming out to get the early goal," said head coach
Dennis Currier. "I think that's the key, not chasing the game. I thought the guys came out very motivated tonight and our offense was really clicking. We had a lot of early chances. We were a little unfortunate not to be up by a couple goals even earlier. I think overall, the performance was really strong and offensively, we did some really great things tonight."
UP NEXT
- The Flyers remain at home to host Oakland Tuesday at 7 p.m. in the final non-conference game of the season.
