Roubos then completed the hat trick with another power-play goal at the 10:51 mark. Thoren got his third assist of the night on that that goal, and Renato Engler picked up his second assist in the game.

Mattias Soderqvist made 26 saves to pick up his second win of the season for Lawrence. Andrew Brownlee was tagged with the loss after allowing the game’s first three goals. He made 21 saves.
