It was a dominant first period for the Barber Poles, who held Erie without a shot until just after the midway point of the first period. The 67’s also had numerous chances on the power play, but Nicholls held firm, and these two teams were scoreless after one period, despite the 67’s outshooting Erie 16-4.

From the top of the circle, the Aurora, Ont., product let go a laser of a shot that beat Nicholls up high, making it 2-1 in favour of the 67’s.
