Gage Goncalves and Cole Koepke were the game’s first and second stars.

This team plays so many close games and it seems like the supermajority of the time they just find a way and they did again tonight. The way they play should transpose to the playoffs quite well and I’m pretty bullish on this team’s chances of making real noise in the postseason. They ended up outshooting Rochester 34-19 tonight and they now sit tied atop the division with the regulation wins tie breaker (by 4) and a game in hand on Cleveland. And they just got Emil Lilleberg and Max Crozier back from Tampa Bay.
