In the opening seconds of the second period, the Owls notched the equalizing tally.

 

In a 1-1 contest, Brunswick closed out the second stanza with three unanswered goals to build a commanding 4-1 lead. Following power-play goals by Matthew McGroarty and Jakub Teply, Henry Foster wrapped up the scoring with an even-strength marker with just over a minute left in the frame.
