Late in the second period Glads Hugo Roy found the back of the net on a rebound opportunity assisted by Cody Sylvester. Seconds later, the Glads tied the game at 2-2 when Sanghoon Shin directed the puck past the Orlando goaltender off a shot from Greg Campbell. Roy and Shin’s goals were Atlanta’s fastest two tallies this season.
