GAME FACTS

• Fahey now has four goals in three games, while Parouse scored for the second straight game after netting the deciding tally in a shootout during the season opener.
• The Purple Knights outshot the Eagles, 27-18, while holding a 35-21 lead in faceoff wins.

THE ACTION

• Late in a scoreless first period, Fahey picked off a pass at his own blue line before carrying into the Post zone and dropping a pass for Wright, whose shot from the high slot was stopped by Caballero. However, Fahey crashed the crease and backhanded home the rebound with 19:02 gone.
• A little more than six minutes into the second period, Winicki chipped a clearing pass up the boards before Lecomte tracked it down in the far right corner. After taking his pass along the wall, Parouse fired from the edge of the right circle to Caballero's blocker corner at 6:17 to make it 2-0.
• With Caballero pulled late in regulation, Fahey forced a giveaway in neutral ice before shooting on the empty net at 18:57 for an insurance marker.
