Freshman

Nick Halloran. Sophomore
Andrew Farny also assisted on the play.
Â
Eyssimont made sure the Tigers didn't get out of the first period with the lead when he scored with 59 seconds left in the frame with a backhanded shot that beat CC goalie Alex Leclerc. Eyssimont then scored the game-winner just 1:45 into the second with the first of two power-play goals in the period.

Luc Gerdes and freshman Max St. Pierre, playing his first game at home, led the Tigers with four shots apiece.
Â
"We played well in the first and third periods," head coach
Mike Haviland said. "But the 20 minutes in between we have to figure out. We took some undisciplined penalties in that period tonight."
