They would add three more in the first, courtesy of a power play tally from Antonin Verreault and even-strength goals from Andon Cerbone and Ethan Wyttenbach.

Two more in the back half of the second were added by Tyler Borgula and Matthew Lansing, before the Bobcats' scoring was capped early in the third after a point shot from Will Gilson deflected home.
