What Happened
Tristan Snellgrove tallied his 20th goal of the season a little less than four minutes into the game for a quick 1-0 lead. However, Shorter struck for the next three goals as the Saints did not score in the second quarter to trail 3-1 at the break.
Jack Kilibarda pulled one goal back early in the third but Shorter restored its edge at 4-2 midway through the quarter.
Ty Wenck ignited the Saints comeback with a score, and Snellgrove tied the game in the dying seconds of the quarter to pull even at 4-4. Kehoe fired in his first goal of the season at the 10:52 mark of the fourth quarter on what would prove to be the game winner. He added another score at the 7:16 mark and closed out his three-goal spree with 4:28 to play to seal the victory.
William DeVinney was strong in the nets and came up with 14 saves on the day.
