Whether your stars are scoring, whether it's your special teams, sometimes your goal is to steal a game or two.

The other night, I guess the story would be our depth came to play, or contributed and got some goals.

You know, and yeah, we're going to find other ways to win.

Last game, it was more of the depth.

Yeah, I think about the saves that he made some really big ones second period where they could have been up a couple of times with multiple goals was solid.

Keep that a one goal game going in the third.

But, you know, just before we tied it up with what, you know, what, nine, ten minutes left in the game, he makes a big save shortly after we score a goal.

Late in the game, Seneca has a great scoring chance all alone.

He makes a save, and then Kapanen gets the game-winner just shortly after that.

So not only was he solid, but his timing saves were huge.

We've been very happy with him all year.

You know, we anticipate him being a...

an oiler in the future, we weren't really expecting it to be so fast.

You know, more down the road, maybe next year.

But since he came to training camp, he had an outstanding camp and caught our attentions immediately.

And then he went down to Bakersfield, played some American League games, obviously, and played very well down there in more of a defensive role.

And, you know, when we needed a...

players and we called them up i believe that was in january and came up and played a few games and fit it right in and the offensive wasn't there but um just somebody that the coaching staff felt really comfortable on the ice and i think a lot of it is just he's wired to play good defensive hockey and you know he was never going to hurt us when he was on the ice now

as he's played more games and had more responsibilities.

He's felt more comfortable with the puck and making more plays.
