Nick Rivera, Brady Fleurent and Shane Harper were given assists on the goals and Adirondack had a two-goal lead.

Trois-Rivieres pulled within one as Anthony Beauregard scored his 20th of the season at 13:02 of the second. Adirondack took a 3-2 lead into the second intermission.

Shane Harper scored his 16th of the year just 4:29 into the third period to give the Thunder a 4-2 lead. Harper’s shot sailed through traffic and into the net with assists from Cory Dennis and Ryan Orgel.
