Ty's Take
"For a first game, we felt like there were a lot of positives. We saw good things from the power play and penalty kill units which is an area we want to be great. We also had a bunch of guys play in roles tonight that they don't have a bunch of experience in, so that was a nice opportunity for them."
Up Next
• Bowling Green and RPI will meet again on Saturday night at Houston Field House. The puck will drop at 7 p.m.
