The goal was Crane’s third of the year with assists from Zach Jordan and Garrett Van Wyhe at 9:49.
Christopher Brown added to the lead late in the period as he beat Tyler Brennan from the left side with only 51 seconds left. The goal was Brown’s fourth of the year with helpers from Olivier Nadeau and Davis Koch and Jacksonville took the two-goal lead into the first intermission.

Former Thunder defenseman Ivan Chukarov scored at 4:39 of the second period to take a 3-0 lead and Ty Cheveldayoff put in a shorthanded goal for a 4-0 lead at 6:33 of the second. After the goal, Jeremy Brodeur came in to replace Tyler Brennan in net.
