From the transition game to what we did in between to what we did in 6-on-6, I thought those guys were completely dialed in."

"It's a byproduct of the game for Nolting and Young," Torpey said. "We put those guys in the right places and when we ask those guys to do things they do them. They finished the opportunities we put in front of them today. They did an excellent job of really just running the entire offense and getting everybody on the same page."
