Stingrays coach Jared Bednar had this to say about the series thus far:

“These two teams are so evenly matched we could have easily won (Saturday) and easily could have lost the game Friday night. It’s one play, one break, and one executed play or one save here or there that’s been the difference in the first two hockey games.
