As it was the "game of the week", there is a full article reporting on the game.

Franklin scored five goals in third period to runaway with a key 6-1 win over Mansfield in a Kelley-Rex showdown.

The Panthers looked like they were going to jump all over the Hornets when Ryan Spillane buried a rebound off his own shot just 40 seconds into the game to make it 1-0, but it took over 30 minutes of game time for Franklin to strike again.

“We came out flying early and I thought we had a really solid first period, we just didn’t have too many goals to show for it,” Franklin head coach Chris Spillane said. “In the second period. [Mansfield] came out flying, they took it too us. They took the wind out of our sails but we in the third we just had to move our legs again. I thought we did a good job forechecking, all four lines out there.”
