Lim scored his 11^th goal of the season, a mark that currently leads the Metro.
He now has three games on the season with both a goal and assist.

His goal was the eighth of this career and second of the season.
Barone has recorded points in three of his last four outings, with nine of his 10 coming in league play.
Giovanni Corsetti recorded assists on two of the three goals on the afternoon, his first multi-helper game of 2026.
