Grundstrom's second of the evening made it 5-1 just 1:43 into the third as his one-timer off of Andreas Borgman's pass found the back of the net before Gagner beat Gustavsson with 11:15 remaining on the power play from the left faceoff circle as he was left all alone after the puck bounced through to the veteran NHL forward.

Moore made it 7-1 just 44 seconds later on the doorstep as he bashed in a rebound for his ninth of the season. Englund, playing in his 150th career AHL game, grabbed his second of the season on a wrister that passed by traffic to get Belleville's second goal but Toronto pushed the lead to 8-2 with 7:48 to play through Cracknell's third of the year.
