Mathieu Foget brought Orlando back to within one goal early in the second period when Brent Pedersen poked the puck up to Foget in the neutral zone, and the forward made his way into the attacking zone before snapping a shot past Halverson at 2:18.

The Mariners re-established their two-goal edge with a power-play score at 14:25 after Drew Melanson fired a shot past a screened Ouellette.

Vincent Dunn netted his fourth of the season to bring the Solar Bears back to within a goal at 6:59 of the third period, but St-Amant added another score for Maine at 9:08 and Brycen Martin sealed the contest with an empty-net goal at 17:56.
