At 7 minutes into the second, Moe Ducharme found the back of the net after two nice passes between Dylan Bresnahan, to the Defenseman Will Connolly who made a pass to a waiting duchrarme on the weak side post to make it 2 zip. ^ minutes later, Matty Campagna scooped up the rebound and stuffed it off of a Jay Masci shot, who received a nice pass down low from Zach Defreitas to end the second at three to nothing, advantage vipers.
