“We got off to a good start on the power play. The combination of left-handers and right-handers gave opponents a hard time. It’s all about freedom, going out and expressing yourself.

Captain KL Rahul insisted that LSG need to win the remaining three games to fight for a play-off spot and a do-or-die situation will help his team.
