And another one just 49 seconds after the last one. Fantastic individual effort from captain CHRIS CREADOR, who fought off a check in the corner, cut to the front of the net and tucked the ball between the pads of Campusano.
Unassisted.
They restore their 4-goal lead just 43 seconds later, as RICARDO PIRES gets his third point of the game.
Assist: Matthew David.
On their third straight power play chance they finally score. Cruz stops the initial shot but it bounces off the foot of ALBERTO FIORE, who was stationed in front.
Assists: Michael Verrelli, Tanner Pagendam.
A very nice move by MATTHEW DAVID to fake out the Italian defenceman, then beat Campisano with a high wrister.
Assist: Ricardo Pires.
DiGiacomo had just left the penalty box but was not back into the play, so it was still essentially a power-play goal, though not officially. TONY MONTEIRO sent a high slapper through a crowd and past a screened Campisano.
Assists: Paul Duarte, Chris Cerqueira.
DUSTIN MacBETH is able to go directly to the front of the net unmolested, where he takes a pass with nobody around him and fires it past Campisano, who really had no chance from point blank.
Assists: Nicholas Senra, Eric Camara.
They cash in on the power play, as the ball gets moved to JUSTIN CABRAL, and he snaps it upstairs from the faceoff dot.
Assist: Eric Camara, Ricardo Pires
