Great game from Ortio - he seems to be gaining confidence with each start. He just needs to get that win under his belt.
Just his first game but Jokipakka was better than I expected him to be. Good positioning, lots of physical play, moved the puck well, jumped into the play, and got on the scoresheet. Pretty solid.
Nice to see Nakladal get rewarded for his solid play. Pretty much everyone who watches Heat games agreed that he was an NHL player and shouldn't be in the AHL. After two weeks or so now, I think he has proven us right.
Another impressive effort from Hathaway.
All in all a pretty impressive road game IMO, for a team that is out of it, on the road, on a back to back, and in two barns where the other team is trying to intimidate them into rolling over.
They aren't quitters.
