Frank Fedorjaka on Sciubba: "Nick is our starting goalie, and he is a true stopper. He sees the ball very well, and second-most important to stopping the ball, he does not give up rebounds. He plays very well in high-pressure situations, a very clutch performer. Nick works well with his defensemen in front of him and he now has a very good understanding of our team defensive concepts." | |||||||||||||||||||||||
