Henderson took a 2-1 lead on a power-play tally from Bischoff for his second goal of the night. Bischoff fired a one-timer past the Canucks goaltender after a pass from Kaedan Korczak. Tyler Benson also collected an assist on the play which was his 200th career AHL point.
In the final two minutes of the second period, the Canucks tied the game with a goal from McDonough.
Brisson gave Henderson a 3-2 lead at the mark of the third period. He collected the puck after a flip pass from Dysin Mayo, then evaded a poke check to give the Silver Knights their second lead of the night.
Kaedan Korczak added an empty netter to extend the lead to 4-2. The Silver Knights are back in action tomorrow night at The Dollar Loan Center as they take on the Abbotsford Canucks once again for the second half of their back to back.
