The Griffins came into game three with the series tied, and home ice advantage, but their backs are still against the wall — when you’re missing key players like Matt Lorito, Dominic Turgeon, Colin Campell, Axel Holmstrom, and even Tyler Bertuzzi if you want to count him — winning a playoff game is going to be a tall task.
The first period was an action-filled 20 minutes, the Griffins seemed to have the edge in most categories. Specifically, the shot count. They were outshooting the Moose all period long, but the Moose were able to score the games first two goals.
