Got back to hunting a little bit more, simplifying our game a bit in the third period, we're able to mount a push. You know, it's good to see the puck go in the net for the guys. It's too little too late when we put ourselves that far behind the eight ball."

Being able to learn a lesson that we can score in bunches, put in five on the board today. That's a big deal. We're happy to be able to fly back. Wish that we had that extra point."

"We have a real identity that we know drives our success and we have a style of play that really works for us. And we all know it, we've seen it, and we've been able to repeat it and now to be able to sustain it, you know, is the big thing."

The San Diego Gulls dropped their first game of 2024 5-3 to the Henderson Silver Knights Wednesday night at The Dollar Loan Center. 

"5-on-5, I thought we played well," assistant coach Kris Sparre said. "We had enough chances to win the game. It seems like the storyline is we score a goal, and we take a penalty. The other team goes on the power play, and it ended up in our net tonight and it's unfortunate because, you know, for the most part, I thought we had a pretty good game 5-on-5."
