Bryan Slenerth’s two points paced the Lakers who got the game winning goal off the stick of Jack Riley at 11:36 of the seconf period while Tommaso Bucci added a shorthanded insurance tally just two minutes later. Blake Christiansen scored the lone goal for the Yellow Jackets who managed to out shoot the Lakers by a 13-4 margin in the third period, but could not beat Wildung to climb back into the game.
