Lucas Raymond spoke with the media following the game, addressing inquiries regarding the significance of the win and the collective team effort. “Win was huge. We’ve come into third period down now a couple games in a row, and haven’t been able to pull  through. So to be able to come out with this one, I think that means a lot.”

Raymond was also asked about what the message was in the locker room leading into that third period, responding with. “Just play our game. I think we put together two really good periods and we didn’t really get rewarded. I think we came out in the third and just kept doing what we were doing. Except that the pucks were falling.”
