âIt was nice to see that we got some scoring from different guys again. We have a lot of depth this year, so our scoring isnât one line or one guy. We have a lot of guys contributing,â Thunder head coach Brendon Hodge said. âEvery time you can get a shutout youâre obviously proud of the defensive side of things too, so I was happy with that.â
