How It Happened

• Fresh out of the penalty box, Gallagher won a race to the puck in front of the Phantoms bench and took it towards the net, where he tucked a backhanded shot through the goaltender’s legs to give the P-Bruins a 1-0 lead with 12:35 remaining in the first period.

• Devin Kaplan collected a feed in the low slot and chipped a shot inside the left post to tie the game at 2-2 with 6:02 remaining in the second period.

• Brunet wrapped the puck around the net and slid a shot on cage that ramped off the goaltender’s stick and under the crossbar to give the P-Bruins a 3-2 lead with 2:28 to play in the second frame. Fabian Lysell and Gallagher were credited with assists.
