Early in the third Ryan Sokoloski was given a 5 minute penalty for a blow to the head. Portage went to work scoring 2 on the powerplay. Shindle with his 5th of the season in his first game back from injury and Barnstable with his 2nd of the game. Henry topped off the scoring with his 2nd of the night.
