LeColst grabbed a loose puck at the right circle, and unleashed a wrist-shot that beat Fred Beaubien cleanly. The Manatees got two goals in the second period from Dan Donnette and Josh Liebenow to give the Manatees a three goal lead as the teams went to the locker-rooms to end the second period. Like the second period, the Manatees scored two more goals from Kevin Swider and Darcy Johnson. Johnson�s goal extended his goal-scoring streak to three games. Miami�s Sean Weaver was on his way to his second consecutive shut-out, but Ryan Prentice�s off-angle shot was lost at Weaver�s feet.
