Zach O’Brien got in on the scoring seven minutes into the middle frame as he beat Peter Thome short-side over the glove to make it 3-0 Newfoundland.

After a number of stellar stops from Luke Cavallin kept the Growlers advantage at three, Nolan Walker made it a 4-0 game in the dying seconds of the 2nd with a deft tip on a James Melindy point shot.

Taylor Egan added a fifth and final marker for Newfoundland early in the 3rd and Luke Cavallin made 38 saves for the shutout and the 5-0 win.
