Pavel Dorofeyev makes it 3-1, finishing a backdoor play on a pass from Mitch Marner. It was a great play by Marner, who blocked a shot in the d-zone to start the 2-on-1, and fed Dorofeyev for the goal.

Mitch Marner was all alone in front, had enough time to check his watch, but Justus Annunen stayed with him the whole way. Such impressive patience by Annunen. He slid over for a big save after a pass, too.

Cassidy starts Marner's line. Berube starts Roy's line. So we may get a Mitch Marner vs Nic Roy opening faceoff (if Mitch takes it).
