"In any playoff series, you're going to face adversity," forward prospect Riley Sawchuk told Walleye Storytelling and Media Specialist Jordan Strack on May 11. "It's just how the best team handles it, that's who is going to win. I think as a group we've really handled that. Our leadership has done an incredible job with leading us in the right direction, so I give kudos to them. Our coaches and everybody around us, again we're such a tight knit group. Just the chemistry that builds, it's leading us in the right direction."
