The first period ended scoreless, with each team getting eight shots on goal apiece.
Thornton broke the 0-0 deadlock when he scored with 4:57 remaining in the second period. He toe dragged and fired a shot from the high slot that made its way through a screen set by Jack Adams.
The third period was tight-checking, with only nine total shots on goal. Orlando sealed the game with ten seconds left on the clock with an empty net goal by Spencer Kersten to solidify a 2-0 final score.
