- Borgiel kept the game scoreless with a stellar pad stop on Nick Ring.
- Shots were even at 10-10 through 20 minutes.
- Will Elger broke the ice at 3:22 of the second period with his fourth goal in as many games. Elger found a seam through traffic after picking up his own rebound. Braiden Clark and Clint Levens were credited with the assists on the play.
