The game looked to be quite tight on the evening with a scoreless first period finished up. But a flurry of goals in the second took the saints on a march to victory. 2 unanswered goals, scored within a minute of each other, started out the 2nd period. This was followed by a third from Riley Stuart, before the Blackhawks pulled one back. The period rapped up with Burkholder grabbing his 2nd goal of the season to make it 4-1.
