Were very pleased to have Lauri under contract at this time. Kings fans will enjoy his robust style of play. He brings a nice mix of skill and determination to the rink each night. We look forward to him to his continued development in our organization.

I'm actually very hopeful because I think we're starting to play a style that fits us. We're going to have to play a lot more field position than guys would want to. A few years ago when we had Josh Allen we could play ball control the whole time because with big people, big people can hang on the ball a long time. Little people can't.

We like to take advantage of our up-tempo style. We like to play 94 feet of pressure defense.

I think there will be a spark in attendance from fans that are glad it's going back there. It seems like it's best for the league.

We're extremely pleased to continue our relationship with CSTV. The elite brand of hockey fans will see on Friday is due to the continuing development of women's hockey at all levels.

We should have beat them like that the last time. We refused to play their style this time and played to our potential. Having that going for us pretty much set the tone for the entire game.
