Justin Kovacs found Hargrove at center ice and the big forward skated to the top of the right circle and unleashed a wrister that beat Gothberg for his ninth goal of the season. The assist was Kovacs' 19th and Sam Mellor also tallied his seventh helper of the season.

North Dakota responded with a power play goal of its own at 8:55 in the second period. Stephane Pattyn batted in a rebound on a shot by Rocco Grimaldi for his second goal of the weekend.
