HOW IT WENT DOWN
Jakub Demek opened the scoring for the second game in a row with an unassisted goal, his fifth of the season.
Early in the second period, Kai Uchacz gave the Silver Knights a two-goal lead after he buried Mason Geertsen’s rebound. Viliam Kmec, who made his professional debut this game, also picked up an assist on the play for his first professional point.
Lindbom stopped Justin Bailey’s penalty shot attempt at 11:29 in the middle frame to keep it a 2-0 game.
Raphael Lavoie netted his first goal of the game as the Henderson power play expired to make it 3-0 at 18:11 in the second. He fired in a shot from the left dot for his team-leading 16th goal of the season, with Lukas Cormier and Demek assisting on the play.
Lavoie buried a breakaway for his 17th of the year at 12:37 in the final period. Demek earned his third point of the night and Kmec tallied his second assist of the game on the play.
Lindbom stopped 11 of 11 shots in the third period to preserve his third shutout of the season and secure a 4-0 Silver Knights victory.
