Â
The second period was filled with goals, six as a matter of fact.
Â
Dartmouth regained the lead shortly into the period after taking advantage of a 5v3 power play opportunity. Junior

Â
The Golden Knights scored a short-handed goal midway through the second frame to tie the game at 2-2. The Big Green responded immediately to retake the lead. Sophomore
Joey Musa fired a shot towards goal, and it was redirected by freshman

Â
Dartmouth took the lead again after Chisholm was able to control a bouncing pass from Sorkin and bury it past Clarkson goaltender Ethan Haider for his third goal in as many games. Junior
Jack Cameron played a long pass to Sorkin, who hit it first time into the path of the sprinting Chisholm. Chisholm finished it off to give the Big Green a 4-3 lead.
Â
Clarkson tied the game for the fourth time with just under 20 seconds remaining in the second period as Tommy Pasanen fired it into the net.
Â
The Golden Knights took their first lead of the night with six minutes remaining in the third period when Nick Campoli redirected a shot from Lukas Kaelble.
Â
Looking for the game-tying goal, Dartmouth pulled Ferguson with two and a half minutes left to gain the extra attacker. The Big Green took advantage and senior
Jeff Losurdo pounced on a loose puck around the goal to tie the game with his third of the season.
Â
Neither team could find a winner in the final two minutes, forcing a five minute, 3v3 sudden death overtime. Both teams could not find the winner. The game goes down as a tie in the record books. However, a shootout ensued as either team could pick up an extra point in the standings.
