#GoBolts Hagel: “You want to learn this stuff early and know that we’re able to do it. I think the goalie stood on his head. Was it perfect? No, but we found a way to win on the road, and that’s what you need to do in this league.”

#GoBolts Guentzel: "They pushed in the second, kind of let them back in there. But that's what good hockey teams do. You just find a way when sometimes you don't have your best, and Vasy played unbelievable. He kept us in there in the second and third, and whenever you get a late it helps the team."
