A comeback attempt by the Kings was thwarted by the quick-strike scoring ability of the Bruins, as the boys in gold scored three times in the last 10:27 of the second half to pull away for the 7-4 victory. 

Mitchell Kohner, Austen Humphrey and Luke Kron each scored for the Bruins in the first half, with Connor Kenefick and Garrett Pinoniemi tallying goals for the Kings. 

In the second half, Gunnar Thoreson scored twice for the Bruins, including the game-sealing empty-netter with 1:52 to play. Alex Illies and Nic Henry also scored in the second frame for the Bruins.

Austen Humphrey of the Bruins was named the Player of the Game, handing out three assists in addition to scoring a goal. 

Pinoniemi and Jon Bell scored the third and fourth goals for the Kings respectively. 

Noah Tussey scored the game-winning goal for the Pens in a shootout, ending a battle that saw the Flyers pour 22 shots on net in the second half. 

The Pens managed just five shots in the second frame, but took a 3-0 lead after Gavin Best scored with 10:31 remaining in regulation.

Ryan Mulrenin put on a show for the Pens, scoring the first two goals of the game and adding a handful more offensive highlights with his speed. 

Kyle Heffron scored twice for the Flyers, his second tying the game 3-3 with just 1:19 left in the second half. In between Heffron's goals, Jacob Ratzloff added a score for the Flyers.  

Lleyton Roed scored two goals, exhibiting a mean scoring touch close to the net, and Nicholas Williams dished out three assists to lead the Blackhawks to victory in the Friday nightcap. 

The Blackhawks took a 2-1 lead after the first half after Wyatt Kaiser and Roed scored exactly three minutes apart. Kaiser's goal was a wrister that snaked through traffic to find the back of the net. 

Caleb Strong scored the lone goal of the half for the North Stars. 

Roed scored his second goal midway through the second half to put the Blackhawks ahead 3-2 after Ben Troumbly had tied the game for the North Stars 2-2.

Ben Monnson and Jakob Stender scored less than two minutes apart to put the Blackhawks ahead for good, despite a late goal by the North Stars' Jackson Fields.
