However, Johnson again managed to make the save to preserve the 2-0 lead. Neither team found the back of the net in the second period.
Florida added to its lead early in the third period, when Jeannot netted his second goal of the game, this time on the power play. Two minutes later, Josh Wilkins scored the fourth Florida goal to put the score at 4-0.
