BINGHAMTON (WBNG) -- The Binghamton Devils have three straight games this weekend, beginning tonight against the Hartford Wolf Pack. We caught up with Coach Mark Dennehy as he talks about the newest additions to the team, and the winning culture the team has developed.

On the acquisition of Janne Kuokkanen:

"Well we've seen a lot because we scouted him the week before, so pretty talented forward. He was someone that when we pre scouted him we recognized that he's got a lot of skill, can play fast, can create a shot for himself as well as his teammates and he's someone our organization coveted enough to trade a good player for."

On new goalie Zane McIntyre and splitting time between him and Gilles Senn:

"At the end of the day we want to make sure we have two goaltenders in there that can give us a chance to win. With Zane and Gilles I think that's what we have. How it gets sorted out will be determined, but I'm pretty confident that either guy that's in the net is going to give us a chance to play."

On the growing confidence among the team:

"I think it's just human behavior. When things are working out well for people there's a little more pep in their step, they're more excited about what they're doing. And if they're putting forth that same type of effort and not getting success they're going to start to question what's going on. So happy for them, happy for Binghamton, they deserve a winning team."

On the importance of developing a winning culture playing at the AHL level:

"Fitzy (Tom Fitzgerald) talked about the importance of that and that's why guys like Jesper Boqvist spent the entire first half of the season up, he's here. He's here to help create that culture and help them thrive. You know and I commend Tom for the trade deadline again it would be very easy to scoop up a bunch of players and bring them up and give them experience but he recognizes it's important for them to have success here."

Puck drop for tonight's game against the Hartford Wolf Pack is set for 7:05 p.m.

Saturday's game against the Toronto Marlies is at 4:05 p.m. The team travels to Bridgeport for a 5 p.m. puck drop against the Sound Tigers on Sunday.
