The Sun Devils relied on third period power play goals, and unlike last night, tightened things up in the defensive zone to secure a 5-3 victory.
“From a defensive standpoint, we were really good and we were blocking shots and eating tons of pucks,” said head coach Greg Powers. “There was a lot of urgency defensively, and we really closed them out and didn’t give them much time and space.”
