Defenseman Jacob MacDonald led the way with a pair of goals, while forward Mikhail Maltsev notched three assists in the win. Hunter Miska earned the victory in net by making 27 saves on 31 shots, as 11 Eagles skaters collected a point in the win, including multi-performances for MacDonald, Miska and forward Andreas Wingerli.
In the third and final game, Colorado forward Dylan Sikura notched his second hat trick of the season, while goaltender Hunter Miska made 22 saves on 23 shots, as the Eagles defeated the Ontario Reign, 5-1 in the regular season finale on Saturday. Forward Jayson Megna generated a goal and an assist in the victory, as fellow forward Kiefer Sherwood notched an assist to end the season with an AHL-best, 14-game point streak.
