Ryan Russell received the puck from Pyatt before dishing a pass to J.T. Wyman, who was positioned in the middle of the ice. Wyman blasted a one-time shot that sailed past Plante and into the net.
Pyatt scored his second goal of the game at 11:17 of the middle frame. Pyatt received the puck from Mike Glumac before using a forehand-to-backhand move and flipping the puck over Plante and into the net. At 14:07, Glumac gave the Dogs a 4-0 lead. Alex Henry received the puck from Greg Stewart, while stationed at the point. Henry hammered a shot towards the net that was redirected by Glumac and past Plante.
The Americans got on the scoreboard at 1:10 of the final frame. Clay Wilson sent the puck to Chris Taylor, who fed a pass to Graham Mink. Mink proceeded to snap a one-time shot past Hamilton starting goaltender Cedrick Desjardins. Rochester made the game 4-2 at 14:16. Dadonov skated into the Bulldogs' zone before firing a shot that was stopped by Desjardins. The puck bounced around in front of the goaltender before Dadonov grabbed his own rebound and whacked it past Desjardins.
