How It Happened
Georgii Merkulov's shot from the top of the left circle bounced off the goaltender and on to the stick of Fabian Lysell, who shoved it over to a wide-open Brazeau at the left post for a tap-in tally on the power play to give the P-Bruins a 1-0 lead with 16:32 left in the third period.
Adam Brooks wrapped the puck around the net and found Bobby Brink at the top of the crease, who one-timed it off the crossbar and across the goal line to tie the game with 14:43 remaining in the third period.
Cooper Marody picked up the puck behind the net and fed Brooks at the bottom of the left circle for a one-timer that squeaked through the goaltender's pads, giving the Phantoms a 2-1 lead with 8:12 to play in the third period.
Brooks scored an empty net goal with 1:17 remaining to give the Phantoms a 3-1 lead.
