THE GOALS

First Period

Pats 1-0 at 10:50 - Tye Spencer (1) unassisted // Raiders goaltender Tikhon Chaika mishandled the puck behind his net, and passed the puck right to Spencer's stick, who put a bad angle shot on the Raiders goal, which snuck through Chaika to give the Pats the lead.

Second Period

Pats 2-0 at 6:08 - Cole Dubinsky (1) unassisted (SH) // While killing a minor penalty, the Raiders turned the puck over at the Pats point. The Pats rushed up the ice, and Dubinsky found himself breaking in all alone where he beat Chaika five-hole to extend the Pats lead to 2-0.

Third Period

Pats 3-0 at 56 seconds - Alexander Suzdalev (1) assisted by Dubinsky and Spencer // Dubinsky fed Suzdalev the puck high in the slot where he took a shot that was stopped by Max Hildebrand but Suzdalev picked up his own rebound and tucked the puck past the Raiders netminder.

Raiders 3-1 at 4:01 - Cole Peardon (1) assisted by Zachary Wilson and Trevor Thurston // Fresh off a faceoff win in the Pats zone, Peardon got a piece of a point shot that deflected past Kelton Pyne to pull the Raiders back to within a pair.

Raiders 3-2 at 12:41 - Seth Tansem (1) assisted by Eric Herman and Thurston (PP) // Tansem found himself alone at the left circle where he received a cross-ice pass from Herman and buried the puck just inside the post past a sprawled out Pyne to cut the lead to a single marker.
