On the ice with the penalty-killing unit in the final minute of the second period, Musselwhite stole the puck in the defensive zone and skated in on a breakaway. His shot picked the left side of the net with 23.7 seconds left, and it was 5-1.

Eleven seconds later, the margin grew to 6-1. Musselwhite passed to senior Brad Dormiedy for another short-handed goal.

Early in the third period, the Lakers’ Tyler Lyon went to the penalty box. Musselwhite took the ice and scored another short-handed marker with 17:24 to go in the game. This time, his sharp-angle shot from the left side beat Brockport starting goaltender Todd Sheridan high.
