- At 12:28 in the first period, Morrissey led on a 2-on-1 and he dished the puck left, finding Stevenson. At the blue line, Stevenson beat a defenseman as Schoen got his right pad to the backhand attempt, but Stevenson's shot narrowly trickled over the goal line for a 1-0 advantage.

- Just over two minutes later, with 12 seconds left on the power play, the Ravens' Jacobs puts a shot wide left from the middle of the blue line and Nikolopoulos corrals it behind the net and quickly wraps to the right post for their second advantage of the game, 2-1, at 9:13
