HEAR IT FROM THE HOUNDSHead coach John Higgins: "I was absolutely delighted with our performance today. We've kept the ball well in games we've played so far this year and today was no different. We created a lot of really good chances and it felt like our first full performance on the year as both sides of the ball were great."
Â
"You can't do much more than we did today and not win a game. I told our guys after the game that if we stay at that level, the ball is going to start finding the back of the net. So we feel good about where we are right now even though our record doesn't reflect that."
