Box Score

Kalisz scored his eighth goal of the season at the 7:21 mark of the third period off assists from Alex Brooks (Grand Rapids, MI/) and Garrett Ladd (Fenton, MI/Fenton). The goal also marked the third straight game in which Kalisz has scored for the Pointers (11-1-0, 1-0-1 WIAC), who were playing their first game in over three weeks.

The Foresters (5-7-0, 4-4-0 NCHA) led 2-0 and 3-1 both in the second period but suffered its fifth loss in a row. Lake Forest's three goals were just the fourth time a UWSP opponent has scored at least three times this season.
 
UW-Stevens Point trailed 3-1 after Mark Essahki scored at the 13:58 mark of the second period. However, the Pointers got a pair of quick goals from Scott Henegar (Trenton, MI/Trenton) and Ladd 61 seconds apart to knot the score at 3-3 entering the third period, setting up Kalisz's game-winner. Ladd's goal was his team-leading 13th of the season, while Henegar's was his seventh.
 
Earlier, goals from Zach Mudge and Mike Violette gave Lake Forest a 2-0 lead early in the second period. Evan Dixon (Novi, MI/) got UWSP within a goal at 2-1 just over four minutes after Violette's goal with a four-on-four goal.
 
Two Pointers had multi-point games, as Brooks recorded two assists in addition to Ladd's goal and an assist. UW-Stevens Point outshot Lake Forest 45-35 in the game but was outshot 10-9 in the third period.
 
Both teams only had one opportunity on the power play in the game and neither team was able to capitalize on the man advantage.
