Egan railed in a hot shot as Jake Peregrin picked up the assist. The 1-1 tie didn’t last long as the Islanders grabbed a 2-1 advantage as Julian Giron hit his mark with a 20 foot blast while Peregrin notched his second assist. Zeroed in on the Islanders’ net, the Penguins found themselves hog-tied by the incredible goal tending of Harsh Easwar and the relentless zone clearing of Elliott Santana and Andres Giron. Fortunately for the Penguins, their defense also answered the Islanders’ challenge as Matt Doyle held the fort while the Feeley sisters, Megan and Caitlin, put on a defensive clinic. After a twenty minute scoring drought, the Penguins finally knotted the bout at 2 all as James Bajor scored off an assist by Jared Radil. Returning to a defensive donnybrook both squads battled down the stretch with Jaden Subacz (Islanders) and Kasper Hooks (Penguins) surging into the offensive mix. With just under 10 minutes remaining, the Penguins took a 3-2 lead as Drew Radil sailed a pinpoint pass to James Bajor who drilled in his second goal.
