Jackets AJ Pearson had 15 saves in goal

Post match comments from Jackets head coach Craig Jean, "Stat wise it was an even game with both teams having 4 corners, our 22 shots to their 23 shots.  They had much better possesion and utilized the width of their field very well. We just started the 2nd half like we were asleep with them popping 2 quick and easy goals before we woke up. It was a very physical game and we battled hard. We had some very good looks   but couldn't put it away, but at same time so did they. I look forward to seeing how we respond in coming days/games."
