Shotaro Itaya scored his first goal of the season at 38:30 with an assist from David Moehle the first of his career.

Daniel Mudd played the first 27:10 in goal for the Lakers before being relieved by Shane Hoyne. Hoyne played the final 62:50 and was credited with four saves.

Mudd, who made one save in the game, had played every minute in goal before being lifted in the lopsided affair. Mudd played 2391:13 consecutive minutes to start his career.
