My last three years in juniors, I was the No. 1 guy. You want to be the No. 1 guy and play every night. I love it.
Coming from junior hockey and one year later having my name called out for the Carolina Hurricanes on opening night was an unbelievable experience.
The guys played really well. They gave me some goal support, which I'm not really used to playing in Lowell.
It's a huge, huge game. We don't want to go down two games to nothing in a short series like this, so it's a huge game, a must win. All of our guys have to play their best game of the season.
It's been a big learning experience going from juniors to the pros. A big jump.
