The Nailers bounced right back, knotting the score at 2-all at the 13:12 mark of the second frame when Chris Snavely slapped in a goal from the blue line on a hard pass from Jordan Morrison. Erik Johnson was also credited for an assist on Snavely's goal
The Nailers refused to miss out on their second 2-man advantage of the night when Chris Snavely blasted in his second goal of the night from the blue line. Jordan Morrison and Elgin Reid were credited with the assists on what turned out to be the game-winner.
