It stayed at 2-1 through the half and remained their deep into the contest when Alec Stacy and Hayden Haldane again combined to set up some Eels magic. After pairing up to assist on Snyder’s tally in the first, the Florida forwards were at it again in the second, providing the assists on Nicholas Vasquez’s equalizing score at 16:47 of the second half.
Pit’s Blake Bjella and the Eels Viktor Wennberg dueled out the draw from their team’s respective goal crease.
