Coach Bergeron's Take
- "There's no positives to take away. We had a really poor first period; the second and third were fine, but no positives come to mind right now."
- On adjustments going into game two, "We're going to have to be much better on the power play, and quite honestly on special teams in general. Our penalty kill was really poor tonight. We're going to have to be much better in front of the other team's net."
Up Next
- The Falcons and Nanooks will close out this two game series on Saturday (Jan. 19) night. Puck drop will be at 11:07 PM ET. BGSU will then return home to host Ferris State next weekend (Jan. 25-26) for the second regular season series meeting between the two schools.
