Kohner tied the game midway through the second frame with a hometown bounce. Kohner made it 2-2 at the 13-minute mark after his pass from behind the net banked in off the Royals’ goaltender. Kohner was in on the game-winner in the third period too.

The 19-year-old won a footrace to the puck on the right-wing and found a streaking Armstrong in the slot, who buried stick side for his second of the game, which put the Cougars back ahead 3-2 at 5:45. Armstrong put the game out of reach with an empty-net goal at 19:40.
