The team has jump. There is a new sense of urgency and purpose in the room," commented coach Harris after the win. "This coupled with the addition of a division one goaltender in, Kristopher Carlson, to take the whole load off of Connor Murphy, has helped us to three big wins in a row. Obviously, I have been ecstatic with the work ethic, skill and courage that our acquisitions bring and I am excited to see where we go from here."
