• AMC added to its advantage 14:10 into the second period to pull ahead 2-0.
• Gagnon sparked the second goal by bringing the puck down the ice and firing a shot that was saved by Hamilton's keeper before a trailing Bailey Kirwin (Barrie, Ontario) sent the rebound into the back of the net.

• Gagnon capped off his outstanding night by netting a goal of his own 17:39 into the second when Ignazzitto sent a beautiful pass between a defender's legs that Gagnon sent through the keeper's five-hole.
