THE ACTION
  • During a Purple Knight power play, Murray rung the crossbar on a breakaway with 2:16 gone in the opening period.
  • LeComte scored twice in a matter of 2:20 later in the frame.

Leale later picked off a pass at the blue line and found LeComte alone in the left circle. The rookie took space before roofing a shot from below the circle with 13:59 gone.
  • Kuzma converted a one-timer out front 2:31 into the second period before Luca leveled the teams at 9:15, sending in a shot from the right circle.
  • Kantgias put the Purple Knights back in front 4:32 into the third period, finding the net during a power play with a shot from the right circle.
  • Only 49 seconds later, Kuzma finished a 2-on-1 by picking Plunkett's glove corner.
  • Toporowski put the Mammoths ahead during a 4-on-3 power play with 10:52 gone, one-timing a pass into the right circle.
