Lake Forest jumped out to the early lead at Augsburg on a shorthanded goal by junior Tyler Canal (Thunder Bay, ON/Stratford Cullitons) at the 9:19 mark of the opening period.

The home team scored on the power play just 71 seconds later and took the lead on an even-strength goal at 15:03.

Forester junior Brian Lee (Toronto, ON/Calgary Royals) tied the score at the 5:54 mark of the second stanza and the visitors regained the lead at 13:06 when sophomore Andrew Ferrier (Stratford, PEI/ Truro Bearcats) lit the lamp. Sophomore Adam Tobias (Rockford, IL/Robert Morris University) and junior Matt Forsyth (Calgary, AB/Calgary Royals) assisted Lee and junior Greg Ihnken (Peoria, IL/Chicago Freeze) had the helper on Ferrier’s first of the season. Augsburg tied the score at 14:23 and took the lead for good on a power play goal with 1:21 remaining in the period.

The home team extended its advantage to two goals just 1:46 into the final period. Lee found the back of the net again with a shorthanded goal with just 49 seconds left in the contest. Freshmen Matt Oke (St. Lambert, QE/Nepean Raiders) and Mike Kneeland (Calgary, AB/Calgary Royals) assisted on Lee’s seconds score of the game and season.

The Foresters scored first again at St. John’s when Tobias lit the lamp at 13:23 of the opening period. Steen and Canal were each credited with an assist.
