Snuggerud opened the scoring at 18:21 of the first and doubled the lead at 5:30 of the second.<\/p>\n

And after Jake Livingstone pulled the Mavericks within a goal early in the third, Snuggerud completed the hat trick at 10:46 on the power play. Connor Kurth put the game away with an empty-net goal with 2:04 remaining.<\/p>\n
