Kellen Briggs made his season debut and made 36 saves. Tim Kraus scored twice, including the game-winner. They were Kraus’ first two goals since Jan. 2. Quite a breakthrough performance for both of them.

Both teams looked snazzy, if not different, in their NHL affiliate tribute jerseys. More in tomorrow’s editions.
