The Pacers are now 3-8 on the year and 2-2 in league play. The Saints stand at 2-10-01 overall and 1-3 against conference foes.

Trailing 2-0 early in the second period, Box blasted a shot on goal that was slowed down by the keeper. Apugo corralled the ball and hammered home the goal, making it 2-1. Box earned the assist on the play.
