Greensboro took a 1-0 lead just seven seconds into a power play in the first period when Logan Nelson fired goaltender Jeremy Brodeur’s shot from the hash marks. The goal was Nelson’s seventh of the season from Tyler Weiss and Deni Goure just 5:06 into the game.
Alex Campbell and Patrick Grasso connected minutes later to tie the score. From the left circle, Campbell centered a pass to Grasso, and he tipped the puck through goaltender Ruslan Khazheyev at 8:46 of the first frame. The goal was Grasso’s third of the year with assists from Campbell and Luke Reid and the match went into the break tied at 1-1.
The Gargoyles scored three times in the second period to take a 4-1 lead into the second intermission. Logan Nelson notched his second of the night at just 1:35 for a 2-1 lead with assists from Deni Goure and Zach Feremouth scored shorthanded at 4:36 and Greg Smith added another power play goal at 17:51 for the three-goal lead.
Justin Taylor pulled Adirondack back within two seconds of the third period, forcing the goaltender to cough up the puck behind the net. Taylor took it and wrapped it into the net for his eleventh goal of the year to cut the deficit to 4-2.
Ultimately, Greensboro added an empty-net goal for the 5-2 win.
