HOW IT HAPPENED

• The Bengals continued to apply early pressure before having to kill off three-consecutive penalties late in the period, including two full minutes of 5-on-3.
• Pryce snapped a shot off the rush on the power play just 39 seconds into the second period for his second of the game and eighth of the season to extend the Bengals' lead to 2-0.  Jake Rosen (Williamsville, NY/Williamsville North) and Brody Power (Toronto, ON/Upper Canada College) collected the assists.
• St. Norbert would get even in the middle frame, however, scoring first on the power play, before evening the score with just 50 seconds remaining that slid through traffic and found its way to the back of the net.
