He would have another in the final stanza of the game to continue his points streak. Jackson Arcan would snag an even strength goal in the beginning of the third period to get the Lakers closer to the Blue Devils. Oswego State would score two in the final three minutes but were unable to find the tying goal before time expired. Steven Kozikowski would get pulled and Eric Green would finish the game between the pipes for the Lakers.
The following evening, Green would get the start in net for Oswego State. The team would shutout the Bengals on their alumni night. The 3-0 victory would feature goals from forwards Travis Broughman, Alex DiCarlo, and Rocco Andreacchi. The Lakerds scored two powerplay goals in the final minute to put the game away. The Bengals were able to keep the game at 1-0 for most of the contest thanks to netminding and solid defense.
