Ope, I’ll sneak past you

“I think we did a great job of responding. We had a great start to the game and I thought we played a solid game through and through. If we follow them and suffocate them, there’s not many teams that can create something out of that,” he said.support Clague after Sunday’s win.
The Moose now return home for six straight matchups, starting with a pair against the Wild next weekend.
