On changes made from last nights game:

“This whole week we just worked on a lot of back checking, and not giving up shots in the middle. I thought we back checked pretty well tonight.”

On underestimating Northern:

“I don't think we underestimated them. We have to play 60 minutes every game and we definitely didn't tonight. It's always nice when we come back and coach kind of kicks us in the rear.”

On having the longest unbeaten streak in the nation:

“Yeah, but they haven't been all clean wins. They're all wins and we deserve them, but we have to play 60 minutes. We just have to put together 60 minutes of hockey, and like coach says, if we don't anybody can beat us, and if we do we can win.”

On changes for tomorrows game:

“Definitely coming out ready to play right away. Our first period was a little rough. We picked it up in the third. We need to stay more disciplined, and not get so many penalties.”

On grabbing his first goal of the season:

“It's nice. A big burden off the back.”

Greg Squires

On changes made from last weeks games:

“I think we played more intense. Last weekend, we were soft, and tonight we focused on the little details.”

On underestimating NMU:

“No, I think it was just a weird game. It had a weird flow. It was a battle back and forth.”

On having the longest unbeaten streak in the nation:

“No, it's just one of those things. We're playing well, and we have good goal tending. It gives us confidence but I don't think we're thinking about it too much.”
On changes for tomorrows game:

“We need to come ready to play again. They're good, and they have good goaltending. We have to come out to play and not get complacent.”

Coach Jeff Blashill

On changes made from last weeks games:

“We needed to execute better. We gave up late leads both games at Lake State, so I thought it was critical for us to close this game out.”

On coming out flat in the 1st period:

“The first period definitely didn't have the competition level that it takes to win, and NMU did. It's not a lack of want, but I think our guys came back and played two good periods in terms of energy level.”

On having the longest unbeaten streak in the nation:

“I don't think so. I think our guys understand. They know the focus is on the next game. I don't think they think about the win streak at all. They know how critical every point is. Sometimes it's tricky to get in and play psychiatrist in those situations. Sometimes they put too much pressure on themselves. I know our guys want to win.”

On competition between Kuhn and Pisellini:

“I think Pisellini is just getting back. When you're off that long as a goaltender, you just have to keep working on the fundamentals to get back and make sure you're doing a good job. Jerry has played outstanding in a number of games and also in practice, so we're pretty happy with our goaltending.

On changes for tomorrow nights game:

“Well, they had more energy. We need to come out and win more stick battles. We still need to show better coverage, there was a time at the end of the game where we gave up big, so we need to show that up.”
