The rest of the way Avs goaltender Bodhi Engum was equal to the task, making a total of 21 saves on the night.  Meanwhile, Alaska would score two more goals in the 3rd period off the sticks of Cobi Smith-Mass and Jordan Watt.  Wehebe Darge picked up two assist on the night for the Avs.  Edward Dyson made 26 saves in the loss for the Rage.
