All four goals came in the second period, with Charlie Strauss finding Martin Drolet in the slot for a one-timer on the power play 48 seconds into the second period.

The lead grew to 3-0 at 13:47 of the second period, when Belisle scored on the power play with assists from Mike Longo and Robbie Donahoe.
The game’s final goal came two minutes later, with Belisle converting a breakaway with a helper from Donahoe in a four-on-four situation.
