“I thought we did a good job. We didn’t really give up much, we stayed tight, we stayed compact and took away their scoring threats. And I think they only got two or three shot opportunities,” said Tucson defenseman Dysin Mayo about the two Eagle advantage power plays. Tucson responded with a score from left wing Travis Barron 23 seconds later, assisted by forward Hudson Elynuik and Mayo.
