HOW IT HAPPENED

• Cortland got on the board first at 9:48 of the opening period. Alex Storjohann battled to earn the puck in the slot. Initially Ethan Homitz fanned on a shot but his backhand attempt found Douglas Elgstam who buried a shot into the open right side of net.
• Canton wasted no time responding just 32 seconds later. Sean Shepard freed the puck at the near boards at mid-ice as Bailey Conklin touched the puck on to a charging Tyson Bruce. He ripped a wrist shot beating Nick Modica high near post.

• Canton appeared to take a 2-1 lead early on a rebound shot from Brett Bannister but the play was whistled dead early.
