On the rebound: Hartford postgame

After Friday’s disaster, this could have gone south. Not tonight “You couldn’t ask for anything better,” Brent Thompson said. “We’ve obviously got great character in the locker room, the leadership.

One down: Wilkes-Barre postgame

This may be silly, I said. (Not that that’s stopped me before, I thought.) But, I asked Travis St. Denis, when you’ve come from four goals down to win twice, can that help you look at the standings
