• A minute later, the Mules added their second. Nick Stapleton picked the puck off the back boards and fed Henry Molson in front. Molson worked the puck off the pads, jamming the puck into Kozic, until finally breaking through.
• Bowdoin made it a one goal game with 5:05 remaining in the period. On the power play, Luke Wheeler passed to Joe Alexander on the left point. Alexander teed up a shot and Chris Brown deflected the puck in to make it 2-1.
