Craig Berube on Easton Cowan jumping into a fight against the 6'7 Nikita Zadorov: "He just has a lot of character, that kid.... Being around the Hunter brothers, and learning about how to do things right, is a big part of it"

"Special teams were a big key, obviously, with the penalties. The PK did a really good job, and the power play came up with a big goal. Our goalie was really good."

"It's great. The guys were getting in there and protecting their teammates, which is good. I've got to give Easton a lot of credit - that's a young kid going after a big man - and [Dakota Joshua] took care of business."

"Playing in London and being around the Hunter brothers, and learning about how to do things right, is a big part of it. He just has a lot of character, that kid."

"I thought Matthew Knies was really good tonight, all around. That goal was a huge goal for us, just with the power he presents, and the strength and skating."
