The next goal would be huge, and luckily for the Griffins, Callahan, stood in front of the net and tipped in a slap shot from Brian Lashoff, cutting the deficit to 2-1. Anthony Mantha and Andy Miele would also score goals later in the second period, giving the Griffins a 3-2 lead going into the third period.
With the game in doubt at the beginning of the period, it didn’t take long for Callahan to show off his toughness again, cleaning up his own rebound and scoring the goal to give the Griffins a 4-2 lead at the 5:05 mark of the period.
