Steve Regier tied the game when he was set up for a tap-in on a perfect feed from Drew Fata who made a series of nifty moves to earn the assist with 8:36 to play. Jeremy Colliton scored the go-ahead goal just 30 seconds later on a shot assisted by Comeau and Regier who capped a two-point shift with the helper.
Jeff Tambellini added an insurance goal and Blake Comeau finished the scoring with an empty-netter. Comeau was named the game's top star and Tambellini, who had two points, earned second star accolades. Hartford's Brandon Dubinsky scored twice and earned the third star award.
