St. Louis 4 @ Rochester 7 – The Rochester Grizzlies had themselves a scoring frenzy over St. Louis on Friday, as they put seven up on the scoreboard. Eight minutes into play, Konnor Goclan opened the scoring for Rochester. Moments went by and they grabbed another, as Felix Wadstromer picked up his 20th of the season from a rocket. But at 2:26, Teagan Lee put the Blues within one by tying it before heading into the second. From the middle frame, though, the Grizzlies kept the momentum going, as ten minutes in, Mason Decker increased the lead back to two. But shortly after, the Blues answered right back, as it was done by Jack Reuss. And a minute later, they scored again, this time from Chase Kozma lighting it up from a setup by Eric Denny. If you blinked, you probably missed another one being scored, as 30 seconds after that, Decker grabbed another one with his response. 40 seconds after that one, the Blues answered right back, as Rece Sanderson picked up the phone. Less than a minute apart, Goclan grabbed another one to keep the exchange going. Late in the third, with a minute to play, Goclan collected a natural hat-trick to keep the lead in his team’s favour. And right off the centre ice faceoff, Jesse Varner buried one to seal the deal after Sam Paczan won the faceoff.

St. Louis 2 @ Rochester 4 – The Rochester Grizzlies used a balanced offensive effort to defeat the St. Louis Jr. Blues 4–2 while edging them in shots 26–19. Both teams scored in the opening period, but Rochester gained the upper hand in the second with two goals to take the lead. St. Louis cut the deficit with a power-play tally, but the Grizzlies added an insurance goal in the third to secure the win. Andrew Bastian, Julian Mollerstrandh, and Brett Ludvigsen all found the back of the net for Rochester as the Grizzlies capitalized on key chances and held off a late push from the Jr. Blues in a physical, penalty-filled contest.
