Behind the net of goaltender Isaac Poulter, the puck deflected off the end wall and right out to the side of the crease. Deveaux tapped the puck into the open net for his first of the playoffs, unassisted, at 7:49 of period two.
Adirondack got on the board on the power play as Tristan Ashbrook fired a rebound chance by goaltender Brad Arvanitis and the Thunder trailed 2-1. The goal came at 11:41 of the second frame with assists from Shane Harper and Connor Blake and took the one-goal deficit into the final period.
