Kopitar’s second goal came with 19 seconds remaining in the extra session. Garrett Allen assisted.

Kopitar’s first tally came midway through the second period and was set up by Cal Decowski.

Sam Anas’ unassisted power-play goal late in the first period gave the Phantoms a 1-0 lead.

The Phantoms went one-for-four with the man-advantage and stopped both of the Buccaneers’ power-play chances.
