Coach
Gavin Oldham said "Good to see our guys grind out the victory when needed. Obviously, a little bit frustrating to give away goal with 27 seconds left in regulation, but the guys were able to dig deep and continued competing. We will rest and get ready for our next game coming up and look forward to ending the regular season by maintaining our momentum into the postseason."
