But Miromanov quickly tied things up with an unassisted power-play goal at 6:38 in the first. He went coast-to-coast down the ice and fired in a wrist shot to make it 1-1. 

Brisson then put the Knights out in front midway through the first. Sakari Manninen carried the puck into the zone and sent it to Chayka, who fired in a high-angle shot. Brisson collected the rebound high in the slot and potted the goal for a 2-1 lead.
