Celebrini made it 2-0 at 5:58. He took a lead pass from Collin Graf and scored five-hole with a wrist shot on a breakaway.
“It’s a long season, there is obviously going to be ups and downs, but I think our start (0-4-2) was really important just to sort of let those two games be in the past,” Graf said.
Peterka cut it to 2-1 at 9:25 of the third period. He received a stretch pass from Lawson Crouse, skated down the right wing, and beat Askarov glove side on his own breakaway.
“Just exposing them with speed was the key,” Peterka said. “I think just good plays before that and just trying to get it in.”
John Marino thought he tied it 2-2 at 13:38, but the referees called the goal off for goaltender interference. Tourigny challenged the ruling, but the call stood after a video review.
However, Peterka did tie the game 2-2 at 17:09. He weaved his way into the offensive zone before scoring with a wrist shot from the right circle that trickled under Askarov’s blocker.
