Hurricanes 1st goal was something from bizzaro world as the ICE were operating in the attacking zone on a power-play. The ICE pulled their goalie as there as a delayed penalty waiting to be called. The ICE attempted a shot at the Lethbridge blueline, but it was blocked in the shin pads and somehow rolled all the way into the ICE open net.
The 3rd Lethbridge goal was actually knocked in by a high stick, but it was ICE players' stick that put it in.
