“I liked our 50/50 battles. I liked that when we made mistakes, we recovered extremely quickly,” Dean said. “I liked that we gave up maybe two odd man rushes in the game. I liked that in our D-zone coverage, guys were blocking shots.” Zander Veccia also missed Friday’s game for the Storm as he serves a six-game league-imposed suspension.“The effort’s there,” Wiseman said. “The compete level’s high.”
Gavin Hayes got the puck deep in the Sault zone and hit Jack Beck coming off the Greyhounds bench with a pass.
