Ty's Take
"We were close and we were always chasing it, but what really got us going was Burke's goal. Because then the crowd's into it, now it's 1-1 and you can feel a little bit of relief on the bench and guys are starting to go. Then a big play by Swankler for the eventual winner."
Up Next
The Falcons will continue the 2021 portion of their schedule with a home-and-home series against Ohio State. The Falcons and Buckeyes will face off at 7 p.m. in the Schottenstein Center on Thursday, Dec. 16. The series heads to Slater Family Ice Arena the following night (Dec. 17), with puck drop slated for 7:07 p.m.
