Emil Lindfors chipped in with 2 goals and Riley Meyer delivered for his team with 2 goals. Jp Eykyn did his part, adding 2 points (1 goal, 1 assist) and Hunter Dolan contributed with 2 points (1 goal, 1 assist).

The Blizzard’s victory was in no doubt helped out by Effertz’s big night as he stopped 22 of the 25 shots he faced. Effertz’s counterpart, Wagner, also had a big night, managing to stop 35 of 41, but ultimately fell short.
This win brings the Alexandria Blizzard’s record to (62-24-0-6)
