Â
Omaha's leading scorer, Chayse Primeau, opened the scoring by collecting the only goal of the first period. Jake Harrison's shot from the high slot clanged off the pipe, but Primeau found the rebound and placed it past CC goalie
Dominic Basse at the 9:07 mark of the first frame.
Â
The Mavericks put the game away with four goals in the second period. Bremer scored twice within a span of 2:31 during a five-minute power play after CC's
Nicklas Andrews was assessed a major penalty and game misconduct for contact to the head.
Â
After it appeared Jimmy Glynn scored at the 8:33 mark, head coach
Mike Haviland pulled Basse in favor of
