Tyson Fawcett opened the scoring 7:52 into the game for Adirondack. Tanner Edwards’ shot from the hash marks went through goaltender Hunter Jones, and Fawcett dove to poke it over the line for the 1-0 lead. The goal was Fawcett’s fifth of the year with assists from Edwards and Brian Carrabes, and the Thunder took the one-goal lead into the first intermission.
Adirondack took a 2-0 lead in the second period when Brian Carrabes scored his seventh of the year on a faceoff win from Sean Olson. The goal came at 6:30 of the middle period, right after the tie, and Olson collected the lone assist.
Just 30 seconds later, Trois-Rivieres answered back to Cedric Desruisseaux who tapped in a loose puck after Tyler Brennan’s original save. The goal was Desruisseaux’s sixth of the year with assists from Mark Estapa and Jacon Dion at 7:00 in the second.
Just over five minutes later, the Thunder regained a two-goal lead when Alex Campbell went around the defense and cut to the front of the net, sliding the puck under Hunter Jones. The goal was Campbell’s fourth of the year, with Luke Reid and Grant Loven collecting assists with 7:38 remaining. Adirondack took a 3-1 lead in the third period.
Justin Taylor extended the lead in the third period when he set up a rebound opportunity for Hunter Jones on a Brannon McManus shot on the power play. The goal was Taylor’s 13th of the year with assists from McManus and Tag Bertuzzi with 3:39 left in regulation for a 4-1 lead.
That stood as the final score as Tyler Brennan stopped 28 of 29 shots for his second straight win.
