Trailing 8-7 in the later stages of the fourth quarter, Huber brought Canisius level with an even-strength tally.
 
The Dolphins won the ensuing faceoff, but the the Griffs were able to force a turnover, setting the stage for Christy, who caught the feed from Biglin 10 yards out and bounced one past Winger for the go-ahead marker with less than one minute remaining.

The Griffs controlled play for the majority of the second quarter, scoring the first three goals of the frame to knot the score at 4-4. Le Moyne was able to regain momentum heading into the locker room as Berry completed his hat trick to push the Dolphins back in front, 5-4.
