After being down 2-1 in the final minutes of play in Friday night's game between the two teams, Garrett Cecere scored his first goal since before the COVID-19 pandemic with a wrister that beat Railers goaltender Colten Ellis to tie the game at two. In overtime, Trevor Gooch scored 16 seconds into the extra frame to catapult the Royals to the 3-2 win.

Gooch tied his career goal-streak with the goal at two games.
