'We're at a stage in the season where you can't talk about youth anymore' - Soo Greyhounds coach John Dean
As much as the message to the players was that coming back was a possibility, an early deficit was too much to overcome.
Despite trailing 4-0 through one period, Dean said that the message after the opening period was that the team still felt like they had a chance in the game. Niagara got on the board first 6:29 in as Andrei Loshko took a feed in the slot from Ryan Roobroeck and beat Greyhounds starter Landon Miller glove side off a one-timer on the man advantage at 6:29.
Midway through the second period, Loshko scored his third of the night as he took a pass from Galiyanov while skating in the right faceoff circle and outwaited Miller in the Sault goal to make it 5-0 at 10:28 of the middle period. Greyhounds forward Tate Vader made it 6-2 with 4:59 to go in the third period as he beat Flores from in tight off a loose puck after the initial shot on the play from the top of the left circle by Brodie McConnell-Barker was blocked on the way to the net and redirected to Vader in close.
